How is the polymer fiver made?

We first issued our current £5 note, featuring Sir Winston Churchill on 13 September 2016. It was the first Bank of England note to be printed on polymer, a thin, flexible plastic which is longer lasting than paper and resistant to dirt and moisture.
In this short film you will see how the £5 note is printed by De La Rue at the Bank of England printworks in Loughton, Essex.
