CCL Secure: Most Innovative Banknote Technology Global 2018

The world’s largest manufacturer, by far, of polymer banknote substrate, CCL Secure has lifted paper money onto a high-tech pane. The company’s “plastic money” – the real thing as opposed to wallet-sized cards – is virtually indestructible and now incorporates a number of new security features that allow for the instant identification of individual banknotes to ascertain authenticity.

CCL’s Clarity™C film technology provides each note with a unique fingerprint, raising the bar for counterfeiters to a virtually insurmountable height. By demonstrating its willingness to share Clarity™C with other substrate suppliers, CCL Secure has ensured that its technology became the industry’s standard. The company argues that its innovative, if not revolutionary, approach to banknote security marks a paradigm shift that stands to benefit the entire industry. Clarity™C imposes no additional costs on customers and is now widely available thanks to its open architecture.

CCL Secure provides 90 out of every 100 polymer banknotes globally. The company maintains three production facilities and five production lines in different parts of the world in addition to a dedicated research and development department in Australia and a state-of-the-art forensic laboratory in the UK. CCL Secure has manufactured well over fifty-five banknotes which circulate in 24 countries. Each year, the company introduces five or more new denomination designs which enter into production and circulation.

The CFI.co judging panel agrees that polymer banknotes – resistant to wear and tear, inherently secure, and exceptionally user-friendly – are the future. Polymer banknotes also represent a growth industry. The move away from paper money is gathering momentum with most Central Banks only now realising the enormous cost savings to be had from lower replacement rates and tamper-proof security features. The judges are pleased to offer CCL Secure, a repeat winner, the 2018 Most Innovative Banknote Technology Global Award.
