Hologram was invented by Physicist Denis Gabor in 1948.
A Hologram is not made by printing or by some kind of ink as is commonly supposed but by the sophisticated technology of Laser Optics.
A Hologram is a visual medium providing a high potential image in three dimensions (3 D) making it instantly recognizable to the naked eye and uniquely resistant to counterfeiting. Holograms, with their high-quality, high-definition optical image, are very effective in combating fraud.
Apart from the three-dimensional Effect and the depth effect which are the basic features of the hologram, during the process of holographic recording (which is the same as the process of Master Origination) it is possible to create other effects such as The Animation Effect, The Dynamic Effect, The Kinetic Effect etc. and also to conceal code letters or numbers or secret images or incorporate Micro-Lettering in one of the layers of the Hologram. These are some of the typical optical security features incorporated in Holograms to make them impossible to replicate. Some of these features can be viewed only with the aid of special viewing instruments or under special lighting conditions.
The lacquering on the film is done to impart an additional security feature, namely the property of “Tamper-Evidence”. If any one tries to remove a hologram, only the bare polyester film will come off in his fingers, leaving the impression/ image of the hologram on the surface on which it was originally affixed, thus revealing the evidence of tamper with the hologram.
Being a three dimensional impression and virtually impossible to replicate, a security hologram is an inimitable symbol of genuineness and has extra-ordinary visual appeal when viewed under any type of natural or artificial light as it displays the different colours of the spectrum i.e. colours seen in a rainbow.
In Today’s world every manufacturer and organization would obviously like to protect their brand or document against spoiling its spurious duplicates, imitations or look-alikes thus eating into its profit and brand name. This is where the security hologram comes in, providing that extra protection a brand or document.
Product Authentication and Brand Protection and Promotion. Holograms are affixed on Branded Products/ on the outer packaging of Branded Products to protect their “Genuineness” against spurious duplicates/ imitations/ look-alikes.
Document Authentication to protect the authenticity of the originals of important/ sensitive/ valuable documents against counterfeits/ fakes and forgeries.
