SEAMLESS HOLOGRAPHY

The Sky is the Limit

Seamless holography is the new standard of excellence within the packaging industry. With ITW ShineMark advanced capabilities, the troublesome seam in holographic film can be eliminated to create apparently perfect holographic surfaces. Seamless products make holography viable in new markets and applications. They offer endless possibilities for designers who are unrestricted by size, layout logistics, or decorating limitations. They offer visual consistency for brands, and overall efficiency improvements for printers. Faster speeds and waste reduction are key operational advantages to using seamless foil and films, as is the fact that seamless products require no costly eye mark equipment for registration. For designers and brand owners, superior visual quality with consistent color and surface integrity along with greater creative latitude make going seamless a choice that pays dividends in differentiation. Combine this technology with custom holographic patterns and the sky’s the limit.
