A Trip Through Holographic Threads and Stripes

The recent HSP (High Security Printing™) Latin America conference in Nassau, the Bahamas gave holographic foil manufacturer Hueck Folien the perfect platform to showcase its portfolio of stripes and threads for banknotes.

Hueck Folien is a family-owned business, founded in 1970, which now employs 300 staff and exports to over 65 countries from its manufacturing base in Austria.

The company has an enviable sustainability record and plans to have ecologically neutral production by 2035 with film from recycled materials. It is also constructing a 400kW photovoltaic plant which is predicted to save greater than 100 tonnes of CO2 per year.

During the presentation at HSP LatAm, Jan Hofmann, Head of Security Sales, set out the company’s references for holographic features on banknotes which include the euro, Swiss franc and full series in Brazil and Sweden.
