Transfer Metallized / Holographic Film For Lamination Products

Listing ID #7455915

in most applications for labels or packaging, a subtle shim or seam line can be seen on close inspection. this line, which typically appears within holographic repeat patterns, is caused by the shim, or recombination joint, between two pieces of metal on a holographic embossing cylinder. this seam line limits brand owners in their selection of patterns, as they are only suitable for small areas or result in costly waste and slow print runs. to avoid seam lines, stamping intervals must be calculated and monitored on press, resulting in slower printing runs. another option is to reject pieces with seam lines after production, wasting materials, time, and money. 

the sky is the limit with seamless

seamless products make holography viable in new markets and applications. they offer endless possibilities for designers who are unrestricted by size, layout logistics, or decorating limitations. they offer visual consistency for brands, and overall efficiency improvements for printers. faster speeds and waste reduction are key operational advantages to using seamless foil and films, as is the fact that seamless products require no costly eye mark equipment for registration. for designers and brand owners, superior visual quality with consistent colour and surface integrity along with greater creative latitude make going seamless a choice that pays dividends in differentiation. combine this technology with custom holographic patterns and the sky’s the limit.

printer/converter benefits.

• greater customer satisfaction and faster sign-offs with elimination of unsightly seam lines • efficientprintrunsduetooptimalsheeting
• no costly equipment requiring eye marks for registration
• faster press running speeds with no seam lines to monitor

• significantly reduced substrate waste is a key operational advantage

designer benefits

• no size restrictions to use of holographic patterns means you can go smaller and larger than ever before

• positioning freedoms that allow for easy gang-printing of smaller applications like self-adhesive labels, luxury packaging and cartons

• ability to print holography over very large or irregular area applications
• diverse surface options along with a range of holographic possibilities, stock patterns or

custom images.

• keep the spotlight on your brand without seams
• excellent return-on-investment as higher up front costs equate to great potential savings in set- up, materials and printing efficiencies.

• seamless holographic patterns are available for enhanced aesthetics and run efficiencies.
