Whether for access control, ID cards, gift vouchers or loyalty cards – tamper and forgery protection is almost always essential. In this regard, plastic cards with holograms, also known as hologram cards, are an affordable and long-lasting method to protect cards while enhancing their visual appeal.
No other security feature – such as guilloches, microtext, embossing, or QR codes – offers a similar level of security. Holograms are ideal for visual refinement, giving plastic cards a completely unique and premium look, making them a popular marketing tool.

Custom Holograms to protect your Plastic Cards
A hologram is a three-dimensional image that changes perspective when viewed from different angles. Producing holograms is extremely complex, making them virtually impossible to replicate afterward.
In addition to standard hologram designs, YouCard also offers the option of applying custom holograms, such as a holographic company logo. Holograms can be laminated onto the card either as a full-surface overlay or as small, square patch holograms.
For plastic cards produced using the offset printing process, we recommend so-called embossing holograms, which are stamped directly and irreversibly onto the card blank.
Apply Holograms with your own Card Printer
If you want to equip your printed ID cards with holograms yourself (at a later stage), you can do so using a retransfer card printer such as the HID FARGO HDP5000e.
A cost-effective alternative to real holograms is offered by card printer manufacturer Entrust. With an innovative ribbon, the so-called Luster Panel, you can print individual images and graphics onto cards that appear holographic, offer UV fluorescence, and increase protection against counterfeiting.
