Holographic Seals

"Security Hologram" for a product with such a high tech name, security hologram stickers have a pretty simple idea behind them. Although they are technically computer generated holograms, they work much like any security seal has worked all through history. Even before the Middle Ages, people were using wax seals to prevent tampering with messages. Although the type of security seal has become much more sophisticated, the overall idea behind it has remained exactly the same. The whole point of security holograms is to show if someone has tampered with a product. You probably have seen security labels on a least a few products you have bought. For example, you may have bought a computer with a warranty that is voided if you open the box. If this is the case, the computer will probably come with the security label. Once you open up the computer, anyone who looks at it will be able to see that the security holograms have been broken. It is a low-tech solution, but it is amazing how well security holograms work. You see, holograms are notoriously difficult to duplicate. Unless you have the original design, some very highly specialized equipment, and quite a bit of expertise, it will be almost impossible to duplicate a security hologram. Security holograms provide a surprising amount of protection. Temper evident holograms are foolproof or undefeatable - and very difficult to forge that most people won't bother to take the time, money & energy to accomplish it.
