The picture shown is an artist interpretation of the hologram showing only the "flat" content on the hologram. The hologram plays with light beautifully and is a fantastic security measure for your IDs. Each hologram is peel and stick and is applied manually. Hologram overlays are ideal for enhancing the security of your card and increase the durability of the card surface
Ultra-Violet Black Light Ink
This hologram overlay includes the shape of an eagle centered on the card, completely invisible to the naked eye. This eagle is only visible under an ultra-violet black light. When viewed underneath the black light, or the eagle glows an electric blue. This method ensures a high-level of security as this security device can hardly be seen with the naked eye. Any security personnel can check for the black light ink and verify authenticity. Since this security-device is hidden, it often is overlooked by would-be document forgers providing you with an added layer of authentication. In heightened security environments we highly-recommend including this feature for your ID cards and security documents.
Holography
Full-spectrum: The hologram appears in a full-spectrum format which varies the full color-spectrum as the light hits and reflects on the overlay. It ensures that all seven colors are prominently displayed, including Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, and Violet. This technique is superior to a standard bi-defraction technique because these are only able to reflect back two colors of the spectrum (typically blue and red, or green and yellow).
Variable spectrographic regions: Within each seal are a set of variable spectrographic regions which change shape as the light reflects over them. In these regions it appears as if waves are dancing and interacting with one-another. As the card is shifted, the different layers of the multispecturm shift in color and intensity until the seals disappear completely.
Additional Features
Full Coverage: We manufacture all of our holograms to measure a full 52mm X 84mm to fit all PVC ID cards as well as our butterfly pouches perfectly. All of our ID overlays are measure 52mm X 84 mm and are slightly larger than other ID Card holograms sold on the market which are CR 79 sized (83mm X 51 mm). This gives you more full coverage of the surface of the ID card, while still giving the necessary room to position the overlay on the surface.
Thinner is Better: This hologram is only 1.5 mil (0.0015") thick, compared to the old 5 mil (0.005") thick version of this Shield and Key hologram. Our holograms are made of a durable, ultraclear polyester film which allow them to be strong, while only needing to be 1.5 mil thick. This means they goes on smoother and are much less noticeable.
Self-destructing: The holograms use a tamper-evident underlay which self-destructs if the hologram is removed or if an attempt is made to alter the content underneath the hologram.
