Registered security holograms are necessary for any application that needs high security such as: Passport visas, Bank & Corporate cheques, Credit cards, Tickets, Customs certificates, Insurance policies, Personal & travel documents, Contracts & Guarantees, Warrants, Public notary deeds, Licences & Permits, Gift & Refund vouchers.

Security holograms are the only way to avoid product counterfeiting.
There are two types of registered security holograms: 
1. Hot-stamping holograms, that is hot-stamping foils with specific holographic images carrying registration marks.
2. Tamper-evident hologram stickers, which get destructed when their detachment is attempted.

Hot-stamping holograms can be personalized, that is the name of the company and/or the logo along with various other security features can be embodied into hot-stamping foil. They are delivered to the customers in rolls. Every roll has a label on it showing the total number of the images. Holograms, when changing viewing angle for instance by rotating or tilting them, give the impression of movement or a kinetic animation effect through white-light dispersion to its spectrum (rainbow) colours. 

Depending on what the customer desires, several colours can be used. For more safety, a hidden text (named micro-text) can be embodied in the hologram. Holograms are manufactured with the OVD technique. There are various types of holograms, according to their origination techniques, such as 2D/3D effect, Dot-matrix, Kinegrams etc.
NOTE: Our company has supplied a machine to the Mint of Greece on which the holograms of the 50 Euro banknotes are printed.
