The Nanovista™ success story continues: Launch of new Nanoswitch® design ‘Chameleon’

Spectacular new design: ‘Chameleon’

Meeting a chameleon is an extraordinary experience! In a fraction of a second, they shine in the brightest colors. Inspired by the vibrant atmosphere, colors and patterns of the jungle, the 2nd design of the new state-of-the-art security feature Nanoswitch® represents the symbiosis of creative realisations, inspired by nature.

Nanoswitch® addresses the two most distinctive human senses – sight and touch – and combines color with a 3D object. The visual attraction of the transforming 3D-color object together with the unexpected haptic experience gives Nanoswitch® unique authentication properties.

The integration of nanofabricated optical security elements with partial ColorSwitch™ provides Nanoswitch® with extraordinary resistance to counterfeiting and imitation, creating the highest level of banknote protection.

Color Switching Nanostructures

ColorSwitch™ by Hueck Folien offers six vibrant color shift variations that provide an intuitive security feature in movement as design elements are highlighted. The shades are based on high-precision thin-film technology and change color when the banknote is tilted.

Nanoengineered optical structures, developed by IQ Structures, provide a distinctive visual appearance and maximum security.

Design cooperation Nanovista™

When the partner of the most secure currencies collaborates with the most innovative technology partner, and 30 years of experience meet advanced nanofabrication, the result is Nanovista™ - unique features and support right from the design stage to the finished banknote.

The aim is to create the most advanced and safest banknote solution in the world.
