Hologram printing is done purely using lasers and not inks. A Hologram Sticker or Label cannot be produced by the standard ink-based printing technologies like offset, rotogravure, flexography etc. Only a hologram manufacturer can produce a security hologram.
Most duplicators scan or photocopy to duplicate a sticker or a label. Since there are no inks in the hologram, it is not possible to reproduce it by photocopying, scanning or taking a photograph. Hence hologram sticker or labels have proved to be a strong weapon to fight counterfeiting.
