Holographic Aluminum Foils are in vogue as a packaging material. Aluminium foils are thin sheets (approx. 0.02 mm in thickness) prepared from aluminum. The foil is extremely pliable and since it is thin, it can be easily bent or wrapped around objects with ease. Hence it is recommended to be used as a packing material.

What is holographic aluminum foil?

The holographic aluminum foil is a standard aluminum foil having a three-dimensional effect. The holographic impressions are embossed on the surface of a normal aluminum foil and can be over printed. It is used specially in pharma packaging or tag foil. Holographic Aluminum foils are highly demanded because they provide extra level of security as there are presence of optical security features. Holographic security can be incorporated onto normal aluminum foils that can be seamlessly integrated with any packaging operations. In Holographic aluminum foils, the hologram image can be transferred onto the foil by on-line and off-line method. The on-line transfer of holography can be easily applied on the blister packing machines. The hologram foil can be embossed maximum in width of 160mm.

Features of Holographic Aluminum Foils

• They provide security against counterfeiting.
• They are excellent in keeping out atmospheric moisture and gases.
• The foil acts as a complete blockade to light and odors and bacteria.
• They have optical security features.

Uses of Holographic Aluminum Foils

Standard or customized holographic patterns and images can be applied to films for flexible packaging applications. The foils are easily printable by conventional printing techniques and ideal for packing purposes. These foils provide security, authenticity combined with quality packing. The foils can be used as :

• Lidding Foil
• Tagger Foil
• Blister Foil
• As one of the layers in flexible packaging

Applications of Holographic Aluminum Foils

Holographic aluminum foils are used widely in variety of packing applications such as follows:

• Holographic foils are highly recommended for pharma packaging.
  
  
• They are used for tag foil. For example: to cover the opening of the containers like milk powder.
  
  
• They are used in the protection and packaging of foods, cosmetics and chemical products.
  
  
• Holographic aluminum foils are used onto the packing of medicinal pill panal because it improves the appearance of packaging greatly.
  
  
• An extremely thin layer of foil is laminated to other materials like plastics and paper, to make durable packs for drinks, dairy products, and other sensitive foods.
