Introduction  A hologram is a type of structure that utilizes light diffraction for making an image appear three dimensional. Hungarian-British physicist Dennis Gabor invented this technique. In 1971, he was awarded a Nobel prize for the invention of this technique. The hologram was an unexpected discovery made during research which involved an advancement in an electron microscope. This discovery took place at the British Thomson-Houston (BTH) company in Rugby, England. Applications for Security - Hologram stickers have various security purposes. Security holograms are hologram labels that are printed. Hologram stickers are difficult to forge. It is so because they are a replication of a master hologram. The master holograms are expensive, made with technologically advanced tools. Hologram stickers are commonly found in banknotes all around the world, especially in the notes of high denominations. The stickers are also found on passports, credit, and other bank cards...

A study was done in 2005 that revealed there was a major growth in revenue in the states that were using holographic stamps than ones that were not using them. Amongst the highest selling commodities in India, liquor and cigarettes are at the first rank. These are the commodities that generate the highest of the tax revenue and are also most prone to counterfeiting and duplicity. When few states started using holographic tax stamps in the early 2000s, those states witnessed an exponential growth in tax revenue without having to increase the price of the liquor. This also led to a higher number of purchases and in turn generated even more revenue. So, if these commodities are being counterfeited that only means the government revenues are minimised, which will not reflect well in the market and it’s the common masses that suffer the most. Why do you need holographic revenue stamps? Holographic tax/revenue stamps developed by Holostik are crucial in the battle against counterfe...

The counterfeiting market is growing day by day and so is the need for holograms & holographic security stickers. Products have always been susceptible to copying and duplication but now, with the advancement of holographic technology, manufacturers have a safe haven for their products where they can effectively counter the threat of counterfeiting and duplication. More and more manufacturers are turning towards holograms for their multi-layered security feature. Using holography, the security industry can produce untraceable and unique 3D holographic sticker  that give nightmares to the counterfeiting industry. Holography enables the production of three-dimensional images. It makes use of interference, diffraction, light intensity recording and suitable illumination of the recording. The objects in these images behave as if the object is present in real time— the object in the image changes as the position and orientation of the viewer changes making an illusion of the o...
