Overview

NovaVision distributes holographic hot stamping foil for use by other printers on security projects. Holographic foils are available in stock designs (random repeating patterns) or in custom designs (random repeating patterns or registered images).

Holographic foils are typically used as an anti-counterfeiting feature on documents, plastic ID cards, event tickets, etc. The hot stamping technology uses heat and pressure to transfer the holographic image to the base substrate.

Stock holographic foils are an affordable option for small and medium security projects or for quick-turnaround projects. Some stock patterns are ready to ship in two days. Stock foils are available in rolls of stock widths; larger orders can be slit to width in about 1 week.

Stock holographic foils are typically a random repeating pattern of a generic graphic or text. Random repeating patterns are more affordable because they provide more design flexibility for a variety of applications. These patterns can then hot stamped to any size and shape.

For added security, random repeating patterns can be used with custom tooling to imprint a company name or logo.

The other holographic design option is to create a “registered image” hologram. A registered image is a single image or logo which requires precise positioning on the substrate to be aligned correctly. Registered images require the printer to have a foil registration system capable of reading a holographic timing mark. Registered images are only offered using custom holographic foil.

Custom holographic foils are typically more expensive and require about 45 days for shipping. The minimum
order quantity is a master roll 7000 LF x 24 inches wide; material is slit to order. Custom designs can be random repeating patterns or registered images.

Selecting the proper adhesive on the hot stamp foil is an important part of the specification for both stock and custom foil. Adhesives vary depending on the application process (rotary or platen) and the substrate type (film, paper, plastic, thermal coatings, etc).

Other key factors which can affect the foil selection include the orientation of the pattern, the possibility of overprinting the hologram with inks, or processing the finished document through a laser jet printer.

After we understand all the specifications, we send sample foil rolls for testing at the printers facility prior to finalizing the order.

For all security foil applications, printers are required to provide documentation to substantiate they are authorized to manufacture the products being produced.

We currently offer several stock holographic patterns for printers. These stock patterns can also be used on custom products produced by NovaVision. However, these holographic foil patterns are not available as tamper evident labels.
