What is a Hologram Strip and How Does It Work?
A hologram strip is a narrow band of holographic material designed to reflect light in a way that reveals depth, movement, or a shifting color pattern, depending on the type. It's applied along the edge or seal of packaging, documents, or bottle closures, acting as a visual security feature that's extremely difficult to reproduce with standard printing methods.
Depending on how it's meant to be viewed and used, a hologram tape or holographic strip can be made to work under regular reflected light, through transmitted light, or with a rainbow shifting effect. Some strips are also designed as a tamper evident tape, revealing a "VOID" mark if peeling is attempted, making them useful for both branding and seal security.
Trusted Hologram Strip Solutions for Brand Security
Here's a look at the different strip types we produce as a hologram strip manufacturer, and how each one behaves under light:
- Reflection Holograms – The most common type, where the image or pattern is visible under regular reflected light, no special viewing angle or backlight needed. Easy to check at a glance, which is why it's used so widely on packaging and seals.
- Transmission Hologram Strip – These need light passing through them to show the full effect, often used where the strip is applied over a transparent surface or window, giving a distinct look that's harder to replicate with ordinary printing.
- Rainbow Hologram Strip – Known for that shifting, multi-colored effect you see as you tilt it, this is the type most people picture when they hear "hologram." It's popular for both security and just making a package look more premium on the shelf.
