2023-05-29


BOPP holographic lamination films are BOPP (oriented polypropylene) based and are used for decorative purposes. It is a slightly a thicker film to our standard films (25 microns).Holographic lamination can be used for many decorative purposes. It is typically used on greetings cards, postcards, brochures, labels, DVD covers, book covers and cartons.Laminating printed media can prevent them from becoming creased, faded, water damaged, wrinkled, stained, smudged, or marked by grease or fingerprints. There is a wide variety of laminates available, from gloss and matt OPP to soft-touch lamination (that gives a silky smooth touch).Laminates can also be used to add a holographic pattern effect. There is a range of Holographic patterns available, from Rainbow to Stars, each provides a different effect, whilst still protecting the print. 

Also,Holographic Lamination can be used to add something special to your design. When laminated over dark coloured print, the pattern can really pop. Placing over a range of printed colours offers different intensities of the pattern. Gloss varnishing has the effect of ‘switching off’ the holographic pattern, increasing the design possibilities.

As with other types of laminate, holographic lamination also offers print protection and is water and grease resistant.

There are seven different patterns available:

  • Continuum
  • Fusion
  • Honeycomb
  • Oil on Water
  • Rainbow
  • Retro Discs
  • Stars
