printing registration

Within the incomplete Swiss cross in printing registration, there is a tiny micro writing with the name of the canton and the year of entry to the Swiss nation marked.

The safety features are UV reactory paper, watermarks with the page number and Swiss cross, a Guilloché printing technique with colour changing ink, and printing registration with printed elements when the passport is tilted against the light on the inner coverpage.

The Coat of arms of the cantons and an architectural element (famous landmarks of each canton) are printed on the right upper hand side of the page and between page 8 and 33 colours of background motives and the Swiss cross printed in "printing registration".
