Holographic Paper: What You Need to Know material for luxury packaging
Holography A holographic paper is a speciality paper containing a metalizing film, typically aluminum, to produce a three dimensional, iridescent effect when reflected on its surface by light. It attains this effect by using superior manufacturing processes that involve embossing, coating and laminating. These metalized patterns are embossed which diffract light and give a spectrum of shifting colors, which can be similar to that of a rainbow sheen.
This special paper finds a lot of application on high quality packaging, wrapping papers and flyers because of their catching visual attractiveness. Holographic effect is very effective in brand differentiation, offers a luxurious appeal addition in products, and is the growth trend in cosmetics, fashion, and consumer electronics. Moreover, the holographic nature of the holographic paper that makes it complex to design also gives security advantages because people will find it hard to reproduce it and thus prevent counterfeiting.
Explore the Art of Printing on Holographic Paper
Holographic paper presents as unusual challenges and opportunities in the aspect of printing. The surface and reflectivity of the holographic paper are different, and many of the techniques adjust to the holographic paper ensuring that the holographic effect is not lost.
Screen Printing
It has been found that printing using screen printing on holographic paper needs special choice of inks and also a good control of the printing process itself to retain the luster in the paper. Its method is to drive ink through a stencil made of a mesh onto the paper. Metallic and opaque ink is preferred because it does not block the reflective surfaces, it complements the holographic design.
UV Printing
UV printing is a method by which ultraviolet light is used to dry, or cure, ink as it is being printed. UV printing has high fidelity and durability when printed on holographic paper. The ink can dry immediately under the influence of the UV light, preventing smearing, and retaining the holographic sheen.
Digital Printing
In digital printing, droplets of ink are shot out, so microscopic ink droplets hit the holographic paper. This is very accurate and intricate design with bright colors can be done. Particular attention, in this case, is given to selecting inks that can react well with the reflective property of the paper, hence the final outcome is clear and bright.
Conclusion
Well, holographic paper is not a type of paper, but rather an innovation, which makes the usual projects look like magnificent visual effects. Its design produces mesmerizing three-dimensional effects of light capturing and reflection in multilayers in a unique way. Holographic paper transforms aesthetics and functionality whether its purpose is branding, packaging, or creativity projects and there is unlimited design opportunity that leaves an impression.
Holographic paper can be used in luxury packaging as well as high impact promotional material, simply put, holographic paper is the future of visual branding. With many industries getting used to the attractive and interactive packaging, it is unique in drawing the attention and the increase in the brand realization, which makes it a top-line choice.
