CCL Secure Expands Its OVD Arsenal for Polymer Banknotes

CCL Secure has expanded the capabilities at its polymer substrate production facility in Querétaro, Mexico, with the installation of a new OptiNota-H from Koenig & Bauer Banknote Solutions. Per CCL Secure, the new state-of-the-art line is the region’s only dedicated capability for applying advanced optical security features to polymer banknote substrates – and will serve customers worldwide.

The new line specialises in applying micro-optic and diffractive patches, stripes and other advanced foil-based technologies directly onto GUARDIAN™ polymer substrate. The investment marks a significant step in the continued expansion of CCL Secure’s polymer banknote technology platform, enabling central banks and security printers to combine the durability and performance of GUARDIAN™ with advanced visible security technologies.

Strategically located in Latin America, the new facility represents a unique regional capability and has the potential to become a centre of expertise for OVD application.
