Since 1928 the printing of banknotes has been a special part of the production here at SPWS. We are also proud to have received quite a few prestigious international awards in this area. When a new line of banknotes undergoes the preparation process, we cooperate with both the client and the author of the design, and we specifically discuss the transfer of the artistic design into the security printing design. The banknote design preparations are worked on utilising software developed exclusively for security printing businesses.
