Available solutions
Eight security hologram models
The choice depends on how the product must be verified, the space available on the packaging and the application surface.
Detector verification
Hologram with chemical marker
Includes a chemical marker in the metallised polyester. It is verified with handheld detectors, confirming authenticity on the spot.
Use: Inspections and checks in the field.
Without altering the design
Transparent hologram
Developed for packaging with little space available. It protects the brand without altering the look of the product.
Use: Opening and closing areas of pharmaceutical cartons.
Evidence of opening
Hologram strip
Applied on caps and, together with a clear shrink film, adds a layer of protection. If the product is opened, the deformation of the hologram shows the tampering.
Use: Caps of bottles and jars.
Breaks on removal
Hologram with special adhesive
It breaks when removed from the surface. The adhesive formula and level are determined by adhesion tests for each type of surface.
Use: Products with different surfaces.
Customer loyalty
Scratch-off hologram with QR code
The QR code stays hidden under a scratch-off layer and only appears and can be read after scratching it.
Use: Customer loyalty programmes.
Protected code
Hologram with hidden QR code or serial number
Its local destruction technology prevents the code from being damaged by friction before it is scratched. The code remains readable only by the end user.
Use: Complement to scratch-off holograms.
Automotive
Hologram labels for spare parts
Supplied fully personalised or with the hologram and a blank area, to be personalised in your own processes.
Use: Automotive spare parts labels.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about security holograms
What is the difference between an exclusive hologram and a standard holographic label?+
Standard holographic material has a common pattern that can be found on the market. An exclusive hologram is created from a dedicated master for your design, so it is suitable when the aim is to authenticate the brand.
Can they carry a serial number and QR code?+
Yes. The matched QR code and serial number make it possible to identify each unit and digitally track genuine products.
How is authenticity checked?+
Depending on the model, by visual inspection of the hologram, by reading the QR code or with a handheld detector for the chemical marker.
Do they adhere to any surface?+
Not with a single adhesive. The adhesive formula and level are determined by adhesion tests according to the surface. Please tell us the material and its condition.
Do they withstand outdoor use or extreme temperatures?+
It depends on the model and the adhesive. Please tell us the actual conditions of use and we will confirm whether a suitable option exists before quoting.
What is the production time?+
The indicative production time is about 4 weeks with a new master and about 2 weeks for repeat orders. The final lead time is confirmed in each quotation.
