A patch hologram can seem like an ordinary item at the first glance. However, there is a big difference between first class products of global leaders and “standard holograms” produced by hundreds of local companies. OPTAGLIO is a preferred supplier of security holograms for documents that need a very strong anti-counterfeit protection. OPTAGLIO holograms have been repeatedly awarded by prestigious international prizes. The best quality, the most robust security - As the market leader in e-beam lithography, working in resolution up to 2,5 million DPI, we can apply some of our visual effects that cannot be followed by anybody else. These effects have been developed by OPTAGLIO research, some of them have been patented. - There is no chance to either copy or imitate OPTAGLIO’s holograms, among other, because their creation is based on sophisticated mathematic algorithms that cannot be derived from a ready hologram. - These holograms can be integrated with other security elements, including microholograms. Very good value for money - Thanks to massive investments into advanced machinery in past years, our production is very effective in terms of time, energy and especially material such as foils. - We can make holograms smaller, preserving their full protection capabilities and all visual effects to save space on a document, material, and costs. Flexible support of fluent production process We are proud of our reputation of a partner that can meet requirements of different security printing companies to support their specific processes. There are several ways our holograms can be applied. - Hot stamping in OPTAGLIO. - OPTAGLIO can also add other security elements or even take responsibility for background printing. - Delivery of holograms on roles (with or without registration marks) to enable document producers to apply holograms in-house.
If you are planning production of millions of polycarbonate ID cards, you should consider OVMesh™ Unlimited. Especially if you want more than just a metallic patch but rather prefer to apply more elements, cover more extensive area and use transparent and metallic holograms on the same card. OVMesh™ Unlimited is a hologram printed directly into the polycarbonate foil and divided into miniature parts. During lamination, melted polycarbonate flows through the hologram and a single homogeneous unit is created. Neither adhesive nor any special attachment tool is needed. Our clients especially appreciate the following benefits of OVMesh™ Unlimited EASY INTEGRATION INTO A PRODUCTION PROCESS. The holographic layer is simple embedded between other layers for lamination. OPTIONAL THICKNESS OF THE HOLOGRAPHIC LAYER and its position in the card structure. EASY PERSONALISATION NO SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS ON LAMINATION CONDITIONS If you are planning a production of millions of polycarbonate ID cards, you should consider OVMesh™ Unlimited.

Do you prepare a production of hundreds of thousands of polycarbonate cards? Do you want to provide them with metallic security holograms? Brilliant appearance, unlimited durability and ultimate protection against counterfeiting are among your key priorities? OVMesh™ Exclusive is the right solution for you. OVMesh™ Exclusive is a metallic security hologram applied onto a polycarbonate sheet, which will be laminated into a protected card. The hologram has got a form of a metallic grid. During lamination, melted polycarbonate flows through the spaces in the grid, integrating hologram and polycarbonate into a single unit. Our clients appreciate especially. EASY INTEGRATION INTO A PRODUCTION PROCESS. The holographic layer is simple embedded between other layers for lamination. BROAD PERSONALISATION OPTIONS. With laser writer, personal data can be written directly into holographic layer. It can be also written into deeper layers through the holographic one. HIGH AGING RESISTANCE. Stability of optical quality can be guaranteed for at least 10 years, which is anticipated lifecycle of an ID card or a driving license. ULTIMATE DURABILITY. The holograms have at least the same resistance as the card. OPTICAL WAY OF BUSINESS COOPERATON. The card producer can chose either delivery of complete holographic sheets or machinery and support for in-house application. OVMesh™ Exclusive is the absolutely safe anti-counterfeit solution for luxury cards. Our clients appreciate especially the following: EASY INTEGRATION INTO A PRODUCTION PROCESS.

Personalization data, such as a holder name and expiration date, is usually written into the paper document during the latest phase of its production. It is critical to protect this information against non-authorized changes. Overlaying with a security hologram is a convenient solution, provided that the hologram is transparent, easily recognizable and non-removable. Optaglio’s H-PRO meets all of these requirements. Ultrathin foil with holograms on its inner side is printable by office laser printers. For easy transport and handling, this ultrathin foil is connected to PET carrier layer. As soon as it is attached to the document, the PET layer is removed and holographic foils is self-supporting no longer. Any attempt to change it results in its disruption. However, it continues to be abrasion resistant. H-PRO application brings the following benefits: CAN BE USED IN ANY OFFICE. A document issuer doesn’t need more than an office printer and a laminating machine. There is no need to install any special equipment. The process is user friendly, an officer can simply put cover foil on the paper page and feed the document into the laminating machine. CREATING A RESISTANT DOCUMENT. H-PRO™ Overlay bring benefits similar to lamination, such as longer durability and enhanced resistance against mechanical stress, chemical influences and humidity. STRONG ANTI-COUNTERFEIT PROTECTION. Contrary to usual cover foils, Optaglio’s H-PRO overlay cannot be removed because it is not self-supporting. Holograms applied cannot be imitated because they were created through e-beam lithography. BROAD GRAPHICAL OPTIONS. Both transparent and metallic holograms can be applied. All advanced visual effects developed by Optaglio are available through H-Pro™.

Microholograms are extremely small metallic particles (from 40 micrometers), which look like dots grains of metallic dust to a naked eye. Their application further enhance anti-counterfeit protection of polycarbonate cards. However, it may be challenging for card producers to integrate microholograms into their cards without any complications to production process. OPTAGLIO offers an elegant solution. It delivers a polycarbonate layer, with microholograms scattered inside. The layer is simple laminated into the card during the production to create a single homogeneous unit. The layer can also include other security elements, such as OVMesh™ and security print. There is no need to make a choice between microholograms and „normal size“ holograms. The security layer can contain both. The customer often appreciate the following features and benefits. ENTIRE CARD COVERAGE with microholograms, transparent holograms, metallic holograms, holographic stripes, security inks applications etc. OPTIONAL THICKNESS OF THE LAYERand its position within card architecture. NO SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS ON LAMINATION CONDITIONS. The holograms are sufficiently resistant against heat, pressure and other influences. CARD READY FOR PERSONALISATION. The layer with microholograms can be made from writable polycarbonate. It is also possible to write into deeper layers through the holographic layer. OPTIONAL LEVEL OF INSPECTION. - Basic control by a naked eye (microhologram presence) - Brief intuitive supervision with a magnifier (reading letters etched, presence of holographic surface) - Detailed supervision with a microscope (viewing holograms with all visual effects), - Forensic control
