Holographic Cards

Minneapolis-based Fargo Electronics, Inc., offers two new secure materials programs for protection from counterfeit cards. Secure Express is a holographic overlaminate that adds durability and security to a card. It includes block graphics or text and provides solid holographic diffraction. Custom orders can be provided in just five weeks with a minimum order of 20 rolls. The second program features visual security without lamination. Cards that feature translucent or metallized foil are created using a precise layering process. The foil is embedded into the card and the tamper-evident image appears below the card surface. Translucent foil cards have embedded translucent holograms in the card stock and can incorporate other visual security elements. Metallized foil cards have two-dimensional metallized holograms embedded below the card surface
