Holograms and DOVIDs (Diffractive Optical Variable Image Devices) are optical security elements that are used today efficiently for identifying goods for the protection against counterfeiting, imitations and manipulations. Also integrated and secured can be the need for Track & Trace of a product. Holograms contain Micro- and Nanostructures that cannot be copied or scanned. The strong visual elements of the hologram can be easily communicated throughout the distribution chain and also to the general public and the end-user and they generate a very high acceptance. Such an optical element inspires the consumer with confidence.
2D: This hologram is based on a two-dimensional graphic image, in which all elements are stored on one level (substrate layer).
2D/3D: In comparison to the 2D hologram, where all information is stored on one level, the graphic elements of a 2D/3D hologram are separated and placed on 2 or 3 different layers providing a sense of depth (parallax effect). Combinations with three-dimensional objects in the background are also possible. Sharp edges and bright colors are characteristics of this type of hologram.
3D: This hologram exists of one or more three-dimensional objects or computer-generated images, and portrays the object in a 1:1 ratio. The depth effect distinguishes this hologram from others; however, for optimal viewing conditions, a direct source of light is required.
Dot Matrix: The continuous rainbow effect of this 2D hologram results from microscopic holographic dots which diffract light through a range of angles. Holograms made using this technique perform excellently under a variety of lighting conditions.
Dot Matrix Combination: Dot Matrix can be combined with classical 3D holograms, providing endless opportunities for new and interesting holographic effects.
E-Beam: E- Beam (Electron Beam Lithography)- Holograms are situated at the top end of high security diffractive optical elements. They provide ultra high resolution diffractive structures and nanostructures which make counterfeiting nearly impossible.
3D Dynagram: A kinematic sequence of fine-line guilloche patterns superimposed on any region of an image. The patterns are optically coded to appear to rotate or to blossom as the hologram is tilted. The dynamic movements are independent of the lighting conditions.
Flip-Effect: Two superimposed images that provide an effective "image flip", where a tilt of the hologram reveals either one or the other image.
Hidden Feature: Covert information that is integrated into the hologram during the origination process, and that can only be read with a special reading device which can be purchased exclusively at 3D AG. Hidden features provide a very effective means of combating fraud.
Microtext: Fields of text as small as 0.1 mm, too small to be read by the unaided eye.
Stereogram: This is also a 3D hologram consisting of an object or graphic image in a 1:1 ratio; however, the graphic image or object is shot in several viewing angles to produce a moving effect.
True Color Elements: The graphic image can be given gradations in both color and shading, making the image to appear real or "alive".
Kryptolens: Product Combining the unique technologies and skills of both partners, resulted in a new high-security covert feature for holographic images (e.g. labels, hot-stamp foil). KRYPTOLENS is the result of the innovative patent-registered technological development at Jura JSP, the state-of-the-art holographic capabilities at 3D AG and can be integrated in any 3D AG's holographic design. Verification: To verify the hidden KRYPTOLENS elements, a decoding lens with a special developed frequency, is used. This lens, with a filter of a certain wavelength, is needed to access the information at different angles of the decoder and making them visible to the human eye
