Have you ever wondered what the difference is between the KINEGRAM® and a hologram? A worldwide gold standard in protecting banknotes and identities, KINEGRAM® features are fundamentally different from holograms. This video will show you why.
The KINEGRAM® is a proprietary and secret technology that allows the creation of sophisticated security features for the protection of banknotes and governmentissued documents. The proprietary manufacturing knowhow is strictly protected and handled according to strictest confidentiality standards.
In contrast, the fundamentals of hologram technology are neither secret nor protected. It is an open, publicly known technology that is available worldwide from hundreds of commercial producers. It is accessible to anyone – including counterfeiters and organized crime. The basics of holography technology are common public knowledge, and the specific knowhow for creating Dot Matrix or EBeam holograms is not restricted in any way.
While holograms are widely used for a large variety of purposes, including decoration, entertainment, or brand protection, the KINEGRAM®'s applications are rigorously limited. It is only and exclusively used to secure banknotes and governmentissued documents.
The most commonly used hologram technologies are dotbased or pixelbased. Under a microscope, the structure of a hologram can be clearly distinguished from a KINEGRAM®, which uses vectorbased, specifically engineered nanostructures. Where the visual appearance of a hologram typically is an unspecific reflection of rainbow colors, a KINEGRAM® is able to display unique effects and striking visual impressions that a hologram cannot achieve. This results in eyecatching, intuitive features that are unparalleled in their visual appearance and their security.
To date, the KINEGRAM® has been used to protect banknotes and government documents in over 140 nations.
