In today’s competitive market, packaging must balance both aesthetic appeal and anti-counterfeiting protection. As a professional optical security manufacturer, Image Technology introduces a new series of optical stamping foils—including Neon-Color and Hidden-Color versions.
These films combine stunning visual effects with advanced optical protection technologies, offering brands both design distinction and product security.
1. Neon-Color Optical Stamping Foil
The Neon-Color Optical Stamping Foil is a transparent micro-nano structured color-shifting film. Its main advantage lies in its stable color-changing effect under different viewing angles.
When applied over printed text or graphics, it produces a dynamic neon-like appearance, enhancing packaging impact and consumer attraction.
The color originates from optical nanostructures, fabricated using high-precision micro-nano equipment, making the foil highly resistant to counterfeiting.
It supports both cold and hot stamping processes, typically following a print-first-then-stamp sequence. Cold stamping works seamlessly with flexographic and offset printing, ensuring convenient and consistent application.
2. Hidden-Color Stamping Foil
The Hidden-Color Stamping Foil features a metallic finish that resembles traditional foil while preserving the original design style of the package.
When viewed under light and rotated, invisible color-shifting effects become visible from different angles.
This creates a balance of visual intrigue and covert anti-counterfeiting protection, perfectly fitting the trend of “low-key luxury and refined simplicity.”
This optical foil is suitable for both cold and hot stamping. When hot stamped with embossing or debossing, it delivers a tactile 3D texture. When cold-stamped before printing, it presents vivid colors such as gold, silver, and red. Cold stamping formulations are available for various printing systems, offering excellent versatility.
3. Five Advanced Optical Security Technologies
Beyond the two primary types, Image Technology’s new optical stamping foils integrate five cutting-edge optical security technologies. These features enhance both anti-counterfeiting strength and visual performance.
(1) Side-Light Reveal Technology
The hidden “OK” text becomes visible when illuminated from the side, while a lock icon appears upon rotation. This creates a dynamic and high-security optical mark that is difficult to duplicate.
(2) Multi-Channel Microtext Technology
Under magnification, microtext and icons such as “OK,” a lock symbol, “PASS,” and “√√” appear sequentially from different viewing angles. This requires extremely precise manufacturing, making imitation nearly impossible.
(3) Optical Magnetic Image Technology
The surface shows a frosted texture with a pillar-of-light motion effect. It uses diffractive structural color particles to simulate the appearance of magnetic ink, producing a shimmering holographic effect that boosts both visual appeal and security.
(4) Depth-of-Field Brushed Technology
This technique generates a horizontal brushed pattern that shifts with changing light, creating a strong sense of depth and motion. It adds both a distinctive visual texture and an extra layer of optical security.
(5) Silk-Fiber Technology
The surface displays irregular fiber-like lines that sparkle and shift subtly under light. These random fiber patterns provide a refined visual texture while acting as a unique anti-counterfeiting element.
With its Neon-Color and Hidden-Color optical stamping foils—combined with multiple embedded optical protection technologies— Suzhou Image Technology showcases its strong expertise and continuous innovation in the optical anti-counterfeiting industry. These advanced foils not only enhance packaging design but also ensure lasting product authenticity and trust.
