What these stickers are not
An important point to mention when discussing holographic and glitter stickers is to understand that they are not security holograms.
Security holograms are used by banks and other brands to stop counterfeiting. Getting custom security holograms can be expensive. Minimum orders for these can be around 30,000 units.
Security holograms are tamper-proof and perfect for bank notes or valuable items.
Most of the time this is overkill.
A great alternative we find works really well is to use a holographic sticker to add a high quality and security perception to your product.
Do this by using a holographic sticker and then printing a white ink ‘watermark’ of your logo or brand name to create a custom hologram effect.
If you are unsure how to create the above effect, just ask our design team. They can add this watermark to your sticker when you order stickers online.
