Discover our new anniversary note


Founded in 1519, Orell Füssli celebrates its 500th Anniversary. In commemoration, we have issued a new house note, an example of which is contained in this brochure. In fact, we have produced three separate notes, each one differentiated by the choice of substrate.
Their design is inspired by one basic theme: “time”. With a contemporary touch conceived by Swiss designer Christophe Métroz, the uniqueness of the note consists of one single integrated design adapted to the technical requirements of three different substrate types: Cotton, Durasafe® and Guardian™. The design is integrated and adapted according to the individual characteristics of each substrate. This underlines Orell Füssli’s expertise in creating a wide range of tailor-made solutions for its customers.
We believe that Orell Füssli’s new house note is a fitting tribute to the unique skills of our printers, designers, scientists and staff, who join with our customers in celebrating this half-millenial event!
