The Shiny Silver sticker on the Government PAN Card and Voter Id Card is the most common example of Hologram Sticker which you must have seen. A “Hologram" is not made by printing or by special kind of ink as is commonly believed, but by the sophisticated technology of "Laser Optics" and is basically used to put a check on duplicity & piracy of products and documents. Apart from Security purposes, Holograms are also used for Brand Promotion. The colors of the holograms are changed when viewed from different angles giving a dazzling and a spectacular visual effect.

Hologram is the cheapest media to prevent duplicity. People are spending billions to create confidence in customers mind whereas by spending few penny Hologram can be used for branding, to remove duplicity and to create a belief in customers that the product is genuine.

There are 5 Major reasons why Holograms cannot be duplicated:

1. Holograms cannot be copied as it is because of the very nature of Holographic Technology. It is just like if the same holographic wants to reproduce, it would end up with two different holograms.
2. Holograms are very secure. In fact, they are trusted worldwide by leading corporate and government organizations. Holograms are also used worldwide in over forty currencies.
3. We have more than 30 types of anti-counterfeit for your selection to incorporate into your holography label
4. s keeps the holography master as private and confidential asset of your client, it subject to the complexity of the holographic label, the more anti-counterfeit you apply the harder imitator can copy.
5. There is always an Upgrade of New Technologies and Applications in Holography.
6. The cost involved in trying to copy a Hologram is huge.

A barcode essentially is a way to encode information in a visual pattern that a machine can read. The combination of black and white bars (elements) represents different text characters which follows a set algorithm for that barcode type. If you change the sequence of elements you get different text. A barcode scanner reads this pattern of black and white that is then turned into a line of text your computer can understand.

Barcodes are an exponentially better choice than manual processes for whatever your business needs. Some companies still resort to using a pen and paper (or have no system in place at all) for crucial back-end operations. Using a Barcode Label helps in the following ways:

Inventory and Asset management

1. Time management
2. Accountability

We need to get P.O. on company letter head along with company's GST / Registration / TIN no./PAN No. etc. to ensure the authenticity of the Brand.

The Smallest size of a hologram is 10 mm X 10 mm and the largest size is 150 mm X 150 mm.

The different shapes of a hologram can be Square, Rectangle, Circle, Elliptical, Rhombus or any other special shape. The corners of a hologram could be sharp or rounded.

It can be affixed on all the products / substrates. However, it cannot be affixed on oily, greasy and dusty surfaces.

Additional Security Features (other than Holographic) which can be incorporated are :

Colour of the foil: We can provide hologram in customized and different colours

Inkjet Numbering: Fixed or Sequential numbering which can be pure numeric or a combination of alphabets and numbers can be printed. Additional information like Batch No., Month and Year of Manufacture etc. can also be printed.

UV Numbering: Fixed or Sequential numbering which can be pure numeric or a combination of alphabets and numbers can be printed. Additional information like Batch No., Month and Year of Manufacture etc. can also be printed. This type of printing is not visible to naked eye and can be viewed only under special light.

Laser etching: Laser etching on the holograms can be provided which is permanent impression. The laser etched portion in the hologram adapts the color of the substrate on which it is pasted. We can Laser Mark Sequential and Fixed numeric alpha numeric date, signatures, images and logos.

Thermal printing: Fixed or Sequential numbering which can be pure numeric or a combination of alphabets and numbers can be printed. Additional information like Batch No., Month and Year of Manufacture etc. can also be printed. Also, Images, Linear Bar codes and 2D Bar Codes can also be printed.

White Code Marking: Fixed information such as a person signature, name, year and codes can be printed. This is a permanent marking

Yes, we can print 1D Barcodes and 2d Barcodes on a Security Hologram.

Holograms as such can be broadly classified into four categories but their features are endless.

1. 2D/3D Effect: Normal level Security
2. Kinetic Animation Effect: Medium security
3. Dot Matrix Effect: High Level Security
4. E-Beam Effect: Highest Level Security
5. Photopolymer Effect: Ultimate holographic technology till date
6. As the level of security increases, the Origination cost also increases.

Holograms are made using Precision Optical and special Photosensitive Materials, which are exposed with Laser Light. After the first Hologram is made in the Laboratory (Known as the MASTER), the Holographic Image can be copied repeatedly on a variety of formats, depending on the intended applications and required quantities.

Hologram is “Tamper Evident” in nature, i.e.; once affixed on a substrate and if it is tried to be peeled off, the hologram containing the holographic image will be destroyed. Hence it cannot be reused. Sticker can be removed from one place and reused again.

Holograms have 3D holographic visual effects. Holograms or holographic labels when put to an ordinary light or laser beam exposure it exhibits distinct hologram properties. A hologram displays the inscriptions in prismatic effect. This prismatic display of holograms is security symbols. This holographic seal certifies the authenticity of the product, service or document. Therefore, holograms are a guarantee against duplicity, counterfeit production. Holograms itself cannot be copied, duplicated or tampered.

Master is the final artwork of the desired hologram the users intend to use. Master of any hologram, holographic sticker, holographic seal or holographic label is prepared for one time only. Repeat manufacturing of holograms does not need require repeat production of master for the holograms

Holograms are the most effective method of recording serial numbers. Holographic serial numbers can easily be recorded in products, services or documents. Holographic serial numbers are beyond tampering. This makes holograms. The most authenticate security serial number system.

Holograms are the best Product Security & Authentication Seal available. Virtually impossible to copy by any known printing technique, there is absolutely no case of a well-designed and authentic hologram being copied accurately. Producing an original hologram is a highly technical, time consuming and expensive affair. It is virtually impossible to copy by any known printing technique. Traditional tools that counterfeiters use such as Cameras, Scanners, Colour Photocopiers, Analogue and Digital printing do not work on hologram. The equipment and skill necessary for origination and mass production of holograms is a fairly difficult affair. Counterfeiters inherently select the path of least resistance and move to target brands & products that are easier to copy.

If your project or product requires a hologram label but you find the cost a deterrent you may be interested in using one of our stock holographic images. The hologram security labels can be used as they are or customized with overprinting or sequential numbering. However, because they are available to anyone who wants to purchase them, stock holograms do not offer the same level of security as customized holograms.
