What is hologram ?

Holography is three-dimensional laser photography. The hologram is a true, three-dimensional record of the original object. It contains depth and parallax, which is the ability to see around the object to objects placed behind.

Holograms cannot be copied by conventional reprographic means (copiers or scanners and printers). Their effects cannot be reproduced or simulated by conventional printing or finishing techniques. The skills, technology and investment involved in their design, origination and manufacture ensures that their production is beyond the reach of most would-be counterfeiters, while even the most determined forgers will be unlikely to produce holograms that are effective and accurate copies of the original.

Holograms are also highly versatile. They can be applied cost-effectively to a wide variety of substrates and products as part of conventional printing, packaging and labelling processes. And while they are essentially overt features that can be recognised and verified by the public, they can also be integrated with other security technologies – inks, taggants, numbering, RFID etc - to provide multi-layered security solutions combining overt and covert security with track and trace capabilities.

As a result, holograms are widely used on all manner of security documents including banknotes, personal identification documents such as passports and ID cards, fiscal stamps, tickets, vouchers, cheques, payment cards etc. They are also used to protect branded goods from counterfeiting, adulteration, substitution and parallel trading, featuring on many of the world’s leading brands of pharmaceuticals, IT products, automotive components, luxury and consumer goods.

 


Kinds of hologram

2D/3D Hologram

2D/3D Hologram is made up of multiple two dimensional layers with hologram images visually placed one behind another with visual depth to produce an effect of three-dimensional hologram structure. It has very good visual depth between different layers and shininess on first layer.

DOT-MATRIX Hologram

Dot-Matrix Hologram allows implementing unlimited computer controlled and laser beam engraved dots dots in hologram. This Dot-matrix hologram is the result of designs comprising many tiny dots, where each dot is a separate diffraction grating. They create a beautiful impact of variable images.

True Color Hologram

True Color Hologram is made up of photographic quality art-work. If counterfeiters can't get the original photo, they can't duplicate hologram close to original one. It's a very good way to achieve anti-counterfeit performance by true color hologram.

Flip-Flop Hologram

Flip-Flop hologram can display two images from different viewing angle. When the viewing angle changes horizontally (left to right) or vertically (upside and down), different images evolve through the hologram.

Transparent Hologram

Transparent hologram sticker is see through type holographic sticker. We have tamper-proof and non tamper proof transparent hologram sticker which prevent photocopying and forgeries of document with clear see through view.

Micro Text or Image in Hologram

Micro text or micro image in hologram is difficult to be seen clearly by naked eye . It's close visual inspection clearly by by magnifier.

ID Card Hologram

Transparent hologram Overlays for I.D. Cards using a transparent hologram film overlay on a digitally printed ID card protects the inks from excessive abrasion and wear, which extends the card life and enhance the security of your ID cards. The holographic overlay prevents alterations to the ID card information and combats copying or duplicating the ID card. The overlays presented here are "peel and stick" transparent labels which are manually affixed after the ID card is printed. The size of the overlay is slightly smaller than a standard PVC ID card.

Serial Number on Hologram Sticker

Serial numbers or running numbers is additional security feature in hologram. They are widely used to improve management of goods and anti-counterfeit ability.

Laser reveal Hidden Text(image) and Mole Hidden Text in Hologram

Hidden text or image feature contains unique encrypted images or text, invisible to the naked eye and detectable by means of a pocket laser reader. Laser readable hidden text or image just can be seend with special laser pointer (or called laser reader). Mole hidden text just can be revealed when you cover decode film on the hologram sticker encode area. Flash light is an movement security ray come from deep background.

Pattern Release and Overpriting Release Hologram Sticker

Pattern release holographic sticker leaves customized design word or image which is seperated from aluminum layer when removed. Overpriting release holographic sticker leaves overpriting word or image in red, black and other colors.

Hologram Hot Stamping Foil

Hologram Hot Stamping Foil ,With hot stamping process, can be transferred to a wide variety of materials, such as paper, synthetic leather, fabric, iron, and plastic. It's well recognized that hot foils can easily promote the images and value of products. Hologram hot stamping foils used on all kinds of product packaging, greeting cards, gifts, stationery, calendars, book covers,credit cards & variety of plastics. When incorporated with custom design pattern or logo, Hologram hot stamping foils become security foils that protect credit cards, passport, and value documents from counterfeit.

Hologram Tape (Hologram Seal)

Hologram Security Tape (hologram security seal) provides tamper-evident protection at the highest level. It offers you a High level of protection for envelope, box and cartons. The tamper evident pattern released hologram tape seals are specially developed for induction sealing to envelope, box, bag,cartons, etc.When the pattern released seal is opened, it'll leave word such as 'VOID', 'ORIGINAL', 'CANCELED', 'OPENED'.

 

 


Color and Thickness of Hologram :

We have diffrent thickness of hologram sticker base material-metalized Aluminum film in thickness of 0.025mm, 0.036mm, 0.050mm. We also have different pressure sensitive material to make different hologram sticker. 25 Micron is default thickness of our hologram stikcers.
Metallized PET film has different colors. More than 90% hologram sticker is made of silver and golden color material because silver and golden material has best hologram effect. Other color material as Blue, Red, Green also is available.

 



Benefits of Hologram

Holography is the only visual recording process that can record three-dimensional images on a two-dimensional medium and represent it as a three dimensional image with the significant dimension of depth. The use of Holograms provides the following benefits :

Security

Holograms being virtually impossible to duplicate, have become an integral part of the security programs of many governments & commercial establishments in their quest for full-proof safeguards against counterfeiters. As security devices, holograms are unique & extremely effective. They can be applied to a variety of media in various forms so as to allow for their marking & identification. They are effective anti-counterfeiting measures since high-end holograms cannot be duplicated.

Commercial

Holograms are attractive graphic mediums & are sold in the market in a variety of forms. Since high-end holograms are difficult to replicate, they provide rather convincing proof of the authenticity of products. Holograms serve as proof of authenticity. We provide customers with Holograms that are an effective way of communicating & protecting brand identity.

Anti-Counterfeiting

The volume of fake, fraudulent or counterfeit goods on the market worldwide are ever increasing. Holography offers certain advantages as a security device. Producing an original hologram is expensive and time consuming. Counterfeiting problems cannot be easily eliminated across various industrial silos. Kuwer has unmatched expertise, resources and capabilities dedicated to offer the best anti-counterfeiting solutions.
