High-quality DOVID (Diffractive Optically Variable Image Devices) effects and easy combination with other features, such as printing, codes for track & tracefunctionality (QR, barcode, RFID), security inks (thermo-active, UV, OVI), etc. Labels may include tamper-evident, personalised and serialised information.
Would you like to take advantage of the world´s best holography (demonstrated by IHMA Award) and No. 1 solution for document anti-counterfeiting protection (Government Security Award winning product IQ proID) for your national ID documents? Do you wish to link your various IDs and other personal documents into a single design? This is what the National Identity guard (NIG) provides. Ultimate security, amazing beauty Advanced technology needs to be used in document protection to prevent forgery and at the same time to create a beautiful document. We are aware of this challenge. Our innovative NIG solution demonstrates the possibility of consistent coverage of all national documents with one unified design. "Security and beauty first". Highly prestigious for the document issuer, easier for police officers, higher level of security for citizens. Unified Protection for all ID Documents ID cards, passports, driving licenses, social security cards, residence permits and more can be covered with a single solution. This integrated approach simplifies authenticity checks, because all a police officer has to do is learn a limited number of protection elements. And the result is an unparalleled safeguarding of both security and appearance. Engaging national heritage in security The nature of the concept – multiple large-area holograms – gives the designers a unique tool not only to depict all relevant national symbols, but to reflect the most important national heritage elements and tell visual stories from the country's history. NIG provides country-specific solutions and shows how the unique visual effects developed by IQ Structures could be used for this purpose. All national documents can thus form a coherent and stunning whole. Safer with NIG than you ever imagined Sophisticated mathematical algorithms together with high-end nanofabrication technologies provide the optical security features composing the National Identity Guard with extraordinary resistance to alteration, imitation and counterfeiting. The holograms are integrated into the polycarbonate so that any attempted tampering will result in irreversible destruction. The solution can cover the entire surface of the document, right down to the fullface, without increasing the cost. Breathtaking effects What was unthinkable just a few years ago is now achievable with computer-generated holography. Keyhole, 3D white bas-relief, simulated curvature of space, movement of the object in a different axis than the hologram is tilted, and more. It's both visually stunning and impenetrable to counterfeiters. The design versatility of the National Identity Guard allows the designers of identity documents to create visually attractive and highly aesthetical optical patterns. The safest thing NIG leverages one of the key features of the IQ proID security product - the ability to integrate computer generated holograms with security printing, embossing and other protection technologies to create a visually unified element. This is the holy grail of document security-an increase in security without an increase in complexity for the officer. The most secure thing.

IQ Structures, a first-class supplier of anti-counterfeiting protection based on advanced optical nanostructures, has launched IQ Vinyl, a product enabling the production of gramophone records with large holograms covering the whole vinyl surface. This patented technology is particularly appropriate for special and anniversary editions, gift series, and more, elevating vinyl design aesthetics and the listening experience to a new level. Impressive Holographic Effects IQ Vinyl enables the embossing of large decorative holograms onto the surface of vinyl records. These holographic nanostructures create fascinating images that appear to move, tilt, rotate, and morph over the record while it spins. IQ Structures can create the desired image, logo, or letters using various holographic effects. Patented Technology This product is a result of several years of cooperation between IQ Structures and GZ media, the world’s largest gramophone record manufacturer. Thorough testing and several commercial runs confirmed that the hologram has zero impact on sound quality, and that it retains its full luminosity for the life of the record. Tailored Solutions for You IQ Structures supplies IQ Vinyl to record companies, producers, and artists in a variety of commercial arrangements. It can supply: - finished records, including packaging, in partnership with GZ Media, - the technology and its integration in the production process, right through to staff training and start-up support, - masters (graphic design, designing the three-dimensional visual effects, calculating the mathematical algorithms by which the nanostructure reflects light, and preparing the stamp for companies that can handle the pressing of holographic vinyl themselves. IHMA Award-Winning Solution Unique visual effects from the IQ Structures portfolio, now including a set of holographic effects, are already available for record labels. IQ Structures has won three major Excellence in Holography Awards from the International Hologram Manufacturers Association in recent years.

New state-of-the-art security solution for banknotes: Nanoswitch® Humans’ senses have always been the elementary tools for our perception of reality. The more senses we involve, the more intense the perception. Nanoswitch® addresses the two most distinctive ones – sight and touch – combining color with a 3D object. The visual attraction of the transforming 3D-color object together with the unexpected haptic experience gives Nanoswitch® unique authentication properties. “The authentication is entertaining, fast and unambiguous, with great potential for attractive designs”, says Robert Dvořák, Managing Director of IQ Structures. The integration of nanofabricated optical security elements with partial ColorSwitch™ provides Nanoswitch® with extraordinary resistance to counterfeiting and imitation, creating the highest level of banknote protection. Nanoswitch® is a product trademark resulting from a design cooperation between IQ Structures and Hueck Folien. The common cooperation brand is Nanovista™.
