2D & 3D Holography

2D & 3D Holography

AR Metallizing creates two-dimensional and three-dimensional images from custom artwork.

2D is kinetic holography. 3D holography creates depth to the pattern and design. When these two are combined together the effects capture a sensation of depth in the final design which helps to create an exciting and visually appealing finish.

Commonly used on a wide variety of applications, our 2D/3D holographic finishes delight both designers and consumers. The eye-catching and attractive finish this holography offers easily elevates products and brings designs to life.

FAQ about 2D & 3D Holography

  • Does Holography print and convert differently than silver metallized product?

    Holography performs similarly to standard metallized paper and does not require any additional steps or special inks or processes. The product may need to run at speeds slightly slower than normal printing run speeds for say a white coated paper but ultimately it performs like any other coated paper during printing and converting.

  • Can I get seamless holography?

    In holography there is what is called a seam or shim line that is a part of the holography process. It is possible to eliminate and or minimize the number seam (shim) lines and also to hide these lines inherent in the holography process.

  • How is holography made?

    To create a holographic pattern an additional production step within the direct metallizing process is required and that happens after our pre-coating is applied and before metallizing begins. Holography patterns are embossed into our pre-coat prior to metallization and once metallized the image/pattern comes alive with color and imagery.

  • Does holography have to cover the full application?

    In direct metallizing process, yes, holography must cover the whole application. It is possible to utilize more than one type of holography to create the illusion of spot holography which can be done with registered printing.

  • I don’t fully understand the difference between the different types of holography. What are the effects?

    It is totally understandable to a little confused by the different types of holography: it's often a surprise that so many options are available!

  • Is it only possible to use one type of holography on a single application?

    It is absolutely possible to use more than one type of holography on a single application. Because of the stunning effect pairing two types of holography can have, this can be a favorite option for designers, who are able to create some incredible finishes.
