Hologram stickers offer a hard-to-counter, high-value identification mark that is nearly impossible to duplicate. A well-designed hologram sticker offers the ultimate peace of mind for its simple and distinct identification. Besides being cost efficient, a hologram sticker also is very attractive. It's the perfect way to announce a new product or service in an industry where visual communication is essential for sales.

The benefits of holographic labels are manifold and include: high-value product identification, security, eco-friendliness, cost-effectiveness, visibility, portability and many more. Holograms can be produced with full color, 3D images, including text and data. They can also include serial numbers for tracking purposes. In addition to all these benefits, the cost and time required for designing and printing hologram stickers are much lesser than conventional labels.

There are several types of holograms available in the market. One type is a full-color hologram sticker with black text on a white background. Another type is a transparent hologram sticker with black text on a red background. While the latter has the advantage of being both tamper proof and tamper evident, they are neither a hologram sticker nor hologram sticker. A hologram sticker with clear text on a black background is called a mono-hologram. All other different types of hologram stickers fall into one of the following three categories:

Holographic label requirements include certain standards such as those found in conventional labels. For instance, holographic labels must display a unique serial number that is a combination of letters and numbers arranged in a unique pattern. The serial number is usually printed in a separate location of the hologram sticker, such as at the top, bottom or sides of the sticker. A unique hologram sticker's unique serial number serves as its security feature and ensures confidentiality.

Unique security features of a hologram sticker are also important because they make it easier to determine what a product looks like. This makes it simpler for companies to comply with various delivery requirements. For instance, some regulations require that companies mailing products use plain packaging type. Plain packaging type of packaging allows people to make out what a product looks like, thus making it easier for them to comply with regulations. Since holographic stickers come in various shapes and sizes, they are perfect for different product applications.

A unique characteristic of holographic QR codes is that they can be scanned using ordinary scanners. When a user scans an appropriate code, he/she will be allowed to open the door or drawer containing the item. Most commonly, the holographic QR code is found on products that have to be given away free to consumers; therefore, it serves as a marketing strategy. As mentioned earlier, it helps to increase the company's visibility. The ability to capture customer attention through its use is a vital part of any advertising campaign. For this reason, many businesses have already begun to use these codes to promote their products and services.
