Hologram Sticker Manufacturer

Hologram printing is done purely using lasers and not inks. A Hologram Sticker or Label cannot be produced by the standard ink-based printing technologies like offset, rotogravure, flexography etc. Only a hologram manufacturer can produce a security hologram.

Most duplicators scan or photocopy to duplicate a sticker or a label. Since there are no inks in the hologram, it is not possible to reproduce it by photocopying, scanning or taking a photograph. Hence hologram sticker or labels have proved to be a strong weapon to fight counterfeiting.

Holograms are tamper evident – once affixed at the desired place, any attempt to reuse the hologram sticker will result in its destruction. Various types of tamper evidence patterns are available that comes embeded in the foil used for making Hologram Sticker.

The dynamic and colour changing feature of a hologram sticker attracts attention and is easy to identify and difficult to replicate. It is due to these reasons above that hologram sticker or  labels are widely used to protect products and documents.

Hologram Sticker or labels are available in both reels and sheets to suit your dispensing needs – manual or mechanical. If your quantities are large then machine application of holograms are also possible. We can refer some label applicator manufacturers to you who will provide you with machines customized to your needs.

We also offer hologram sticker printing having variable information like alphanumeric sequential numbering, random codes, bar codes and QR codes on hologram labels. This significantly enhances the security of the hologram sticker or label and provides ease of material tracking. Every single hologram thus could actually become unique!

The Variable Information can be imprinted using the following technologies:

  • Laser Marking
  • Ink-Jet Marking
  • Ultra-Violet (UV) cured Marking
  • Thermal transfer

Additional levels of security are also possible on hologram stickers such as invisible codes and numbering and also multi-colour and exploding fonts. An equipped Hologram Manufacturer like Holoflex can also hide such variable data by a holographic scratch off coating.
