KINEGRAM New Design Flexibility Allows Bees to Fly in Harmony

OVD Kinegram (OVDK), based in Zug, Switzerland and a subsidiary of the KURZ Group, specialises in the design, production and supply of the KINEGRAM® optical security feature for government documents and banknotes.

OVDK has been providing its image technology as a deterrent against counterfeiting and tampering of ID and travel documents for many years and has now introduced a KINEGRAM embedded in polycarbonate with full data protection (FDP), which not only protects the entire personal information and improves the fusion characteristics of the document’s polycarbonate body – but, it says, unlocks new design possibilities.

The FDP approach offers new ways to integrate the document’s security print with the security effects contained in the KINEGRAM. Essentially, a single security feature covers the entire document with protective effects, while an integrated design ensures intuitive, selfexplanatory authentication.
