As brand protection and anti-counterfeiting needs keep growing, holographic stickers have become a popular solution. They provide strong security and eye-catching visual effects. However, many customers have questions before placing an order.
This article answers 22 of the most common questions. It will help you understand holographic stickers—covering performance, technology, services, and the cooperation process—so you can make confident purchasing decisions.
Product Features and Functions
1. Why do holographic stickers show changing colors?
This effect comes from structural color. Light interacts with micro-nano structures on the film surface, causing diffraction, reflection, and refraction. No pigments or inks are involved.
2. Are holographic stickers waterproof and heat-resistant?
Yes. PET material is naturally waterproof. In addition, with high-temperature adhesive, the stickers can resist temperatures up to 120–150°C. Please tell us your usage environment, and we will recommend the best material.
3. Can QR codes and serial numbers be added?
Absolutely. We support fixed or variable QR codes, serial numbers, or blank spaces for your own printing.
4. Will printed QR codes rub off?
We can add a scratch-resistant layer to protect QR codes during handling and use. This ensures scanning works reliably.
5. Can labels be hot-stamped on fabric tags or wash labels?
Yes. Labels can be heat-transferred onto fabric, woven labels, and wash care labels. Moreover, we provide samples for testing.
6. What’s the difference between your optical labels and laser labels?
Laser labels are now outdated. Our optical labels use advanced micro-nano structure technology. Also, lasers are the only method for creating these structures. Other methods include electron beam, plasma, CNC, mask etching, and PVD coating.
7. Are holographic stickers better when brighter?
Brighter does not always mean better—people have different aesthetic preferences. Sticker brightness is designed based on your needs. If high brightness is required, we adjust the pattern’s reflective angles to create a dazzling effect.
We offer wide-angle grating and matte silver finishes. The current trend favors understated elegance, so our metallic matte silver stickers are more popular. Brightness alone does not indicate advanced technology. For example, our 3D true-color effect may look soft, but under certain light angles, it shows unique features.
Production and Design
8. How are hologram labels produced?
The complete process is confidential, but generally it includes:
Design → Master making → Embossing → Coating/Adhesive → Die-Cutting → QR code printing → Inspection → Packaging.
We follow strict quality control under ISO 9001 standards to ensure each batch meets our quality requirements.
9. Are there size limits for labels?
Yes. Labels range from 8×8 mm to 150×150 mm. In addition, shapes and die-cut designs can be customized.
10. Can my company logo be added?
Of course. Please provide a vector file (AI or CDR). We will create a custom hologram design for your approval. Let us know whether the purpose is anti-counterfeiting or decoration.
11. What security features can be added?
We offer both visible and hidden features:
- Visible: 3D true color, 3D dynamic, diffraction relief, multi-channel images, high-frequency gratings, movie gradient effects, phantom illusions, lens shaking text.
- Hidden: Micro text, covert laser/UV features, pixel lithography, fluorescence effects
Also, we can create customized solutions based on your industry and budget.
12. Can the hologram design be revised?
Yes. You can request multiple rounds of revisions before production. Once finalized, we archive the design for future reorders.
Order and Pricing
13. What is the minimum order quantity? Is it expensive?
The minimum order quantity is 500,000 pcs. Prices depend on design, processing complexity, size, and order quantity. We focus on fair pricing and premium quality—never low-cost, low-quality products.
14. Why are your prices higher than some suppliers?
Our value comes from advanced technology, high-quality materials, and professional design services. Compare samples side by side, and you will see the difference in precision and security.
