SECURITY PRINTING AND SECURITY HOLOGRAMS
WE OFFER A WIDE RANGE OF SECURITY PRINTING TECHNOLOGIES
AUTHENTICATION TECHNOLOGY
Securikett offers secure and proven processes for the integration of authentication features. Holograms are integrated as continuous designs or as precisely fitting image holograms. By integrating such holographic overlays you achieve a strong overt feature, allowing your customer to check if a product is of its origin or not. Other features of authentication include security inks and marking materials (taggants).
In our view, security printing is the integration of various technologies and features into an appealing design that engages stakeholders in the supply chain and, in any case, the end consumer to check a product for authenticity. High-performance machines and secure production in Austria provide the prerequisites for the reliable realization of large, multinational projects.
HOLOGRAPHIC SECURITY LABELS PROVIDE A POWERFUL FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE AGAINST COUNTERFEITING AND PRODUCT DIVERSION
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF USING HOLOGRAPHIC LABELS?
Security labels with holograms are a powerful tool for deterring counterfeiting due to their complex designs and optical effects, which are difficult to replicate. By incorporating unique holographic elements, companies can ensure that customers receive authentic products, protecting their brand image.
Security holograms are most effective when combined with additional authentication technologies. Securikett enhances holographic labels with tamper-evident VOID effects, unique serial numbers, QR-code serialization, and digital Track & Trace solutions. This multi-layered approach enables visual inspection, product authentication, supply chain transparency, and counterfeit protection throughout the product lifecycle.
Labels with security holograms can be tailored with logos, text, and other design elements, providing a distinctive brand signature.
Securikett holographic labels include a visible residue or pattern when removed, which helps prevent unauthorized access, the so-called VOID effect. This adds another layer of security and reassurance for consumers, as these labels are commonly associated with genuine and high-quality products.
WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT SECURITY HOLOGRAM LABELS
Security holograms are advanced optical security features designed to protect products, brands, and documents against counterfeiting and unauthorized reproduction. Using specialized holographic technologies, they create visual effects that are difficult to replicate with conventional printing methods. Security holograms are commonly integrated into labels, seals, packaging, certificates, and identification documents to enable fast visual authentication and strengthen brand protection.
Security holograms are available in various formats and security levels depending on the required protection. Common types include e.g. 2D holograms, or 3D holograms. Additional covert and forensic security elements, such as microtext, hidden images, guilloches, and nano-features, can further enhance counterfeit resistance and product authentication.
Custom holograms can be designed to reflect a brand’s identity while providing unique security features. Logos, company names, serial numbers, QR codes, microtext, hidden images, and variable data can be integrated into the holographic design. Security labels with holograms can also be combined with a tailor-made VOID effect.
Standard holograms are primarily designed for visual authentication and do not automatically provide tamper evidence. However, holograms can be combined with tamper-evident technologies such as VOID effects, destructible materials, or security cuts. These solutions leave visible evidence when removal or manipulation is attempted, helping to protect products against unauthorized opening, reuse, and counterfeiting.
Yes. Transparent holograms offer the same visual authentication benefits as conventional holograms while allowing underlying information, graphics, or packaging designs to remain visible. They are widely used on product packaging, pharmaceutical cartons, cosmetics, and branded products where both security and aesthetics are important. Transparent holographic labels can also incorporate advanced overt and covert security features for enhanced protection.
Security hologram seals are widely used to protect products, packaging, and documents against counterfeiting, tampering, and unauthorized duplication. They enable quick visual authentication, increase consumer trust, and strengthen brand protection. When combined with tamper-evident features, unique QR codes, or Track & Trace systems, hologram seals become part of a comprehensive product authentication strategy that supports supply chain security and regulatory compliance.
Yes. Modern anti-counterfeiting strategies often combine security holograms with digital technologies such as unique serialization (e.g. QR codes, NFC), and traceability systems. This multi-layered approach enables both visual and digital authentication, providing enhanced protection against counterfeiting while improving supply chain visibility and consumer engagement.
THE SECURIKETT SOLUTION
COMBINING TECHNOLOGIES TO ACHIEVE SECURITY IS KEY
Holograms and OVDs
In specialist circles, this is referred to as OVDs and the range extends from the less secure, coarser resolution “digital image” to electron beam lasered structures, often in silver or transparent. Copy security depends largely on the accessibility of the technology.
Securikett specializes in integrating hologram embossing into security labels. The complex connection – print to hologram – makes it considerably more difficult for counterfeiters to imitate. Even a verification filter can be designed as part of such labels.

Guilloches
Guilloches are fine lines, such as those found on banknotes, which are intertwined.
Microtexts
Microtexts are so-called semi-covered authentication elements. In view of modern reproduction technology, copy security is often questionable and depends on details such as the printing ink itself or the reproduction technique.
Effect Colors
Effect colors are overt features. As known from banknotes, these are iridescent and glittering colors, allowing an end user whether a product is a fake or not by flipping. Depending on the viewing angle, a color change appears, for example from pink to blue.
By using special inks, a wide variety of tampering methods can be clearly detected. We customize tamper-evident effects to your needs.
We also use special colors that make manipulation with liquid, heat or cold visible. Many counterfeiters know that by processing the label with water, hot air or cold spray, the label can be removed more easily. By using special inks, a wide variety of tampering methods can be clearly detected.
Invisible inks
Invisible colors are not visible to the human eye without special light sources.
Taggants
Authentication features that can only be determined using special, non-public means are often referred to in specialist circles as forensic features. This is because they stand up in court as evidence, a requirement that some others also fulfill.
The advantage of the so-called completely invisible features is that counterfeiters have no indication that there is anything here and what they should imitate at all. This is where the claim that these are the most secure features comes from. The prerequisite here is that stringent safety management is adhered to when imprinting or incorporating these features – in some cases directly into the active ingredients and medicines themselves.
Watermarks
Watermarks are image marks applied to paper in different paper thicknesses that can be recognized by light transmission. Applications in the field of authentication include bank notes, vouchers, tickets and admission tickets.
Cuts and perforations
Predetermined cuts in fragile materials complicate the work of fraudsters. Depending on the customer’s requirements we design destructible seals and labels.
Scratch-offs
With scratch-off ink it is possible to cover codes or pin numbers reliably and opaquely. The consumer can easily scratch off the coating and reveal the information behind it. It is a feature encouraging the end user to check the authenticity of a product.
