Transfer Metallized / holographic film

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.
