Holographic Label Material
Holographic label material is a film facestock with an embossed diffraction pattern that produces rainbow, shifting effects. It is used for premium shelf appeal and as an anti-counterfeit feature, in rainbow, pattern or custom-designed holograms.
Quick answer
Holographic label material is a metallized film facestock (50–60 µm) with an embossed diffraction pattern that produces a rainbow, angle-shifting effect in rainbow, pattern or custom designs. It is used for premium shelf-appeal labels and as a visible anti-counterfeit feature on brand packaging.

Why choose holographic film
Eye-catching shifting effect
The embossed diffraction pattern throws rainbow colour that moves with the viewing angle.
Premium and security value
Adds shelf standout while also acting as a visible authentication cue for buyers.
Custom holographic patterns
Beyond stock rainbow and pattern films, bespoke designs and logos can be originated.
Waterproof film base
The polyester/polypropylene base resists moisture, so labels survive humid packaging lines.
Typical applications
Brand protection & anti-counterfeit
Authentication seals and security labels that are hard to copy convincingly.

Frequently asked questions
What is holographic label material?
Holographic label material is a metallized film facestock, commonly 50–60 µm, embossed with a microscopic diffraction pattern that splits light into shifting rainbow colours as the viewing angle changes. The effect cannot be reproduced by conventional printing, so it serves both as decoration and as an immediately visible authenticity cue on the pack.
Brands use it for premium cosmetics, spirits, electronics and collectibles, and for warranty and authentication seals. Converters run stock rainbow and pattern films, or custom-origination designs for a brand-specific look.
Decide between stock and custom patterns against volume and lead time, check ink and varnish adhesion to the embossed surface, and confirm print register on a moving diffraction ground. Also consider adhesive for the container, whether a destructible or VOID construction is needed for security, and barcode contrast — confirm with sample testing.
What is holographic label material used for?
Premium, eye-catching labels and anti-counterfeit features on packaging, cosmetics and electronics.
Can holograms be customised?
Yes. Beyond stock rainbow and pattern films, custom holographic designs and logos can be produced for brand security.
Does holographic material help against counterfeiting?
Yes, custom holograms are hard to replicate, so they act as an authentication feature.
Can you print on holographic film?
Yes, a printable top-coat allows logos and text over the holographic effect.
Which printing methods work over holographic label film?
The printable top-coat over the holographic effect accepts flexo, offset, screen and UV inkjet/digital printing for logos, text and variable data; confirm your press and ink system so we can match the top-coat chemistry to your printing method.
What roll widths and MOQ apply to holographic label material?
Holographic film is supplied up to 1,600 mm wide, on 25 mm (1 in) or 76 mm (3 in) cores; stock rainbow and pattern films start from a single jumbo roll, while custom holographic origination typically requires a higher minimum order — ask for the specific MOQ for your design.
Can I get a sample of holographic label material?
Yes, request a free sample of our stock rainbow or pattern holographic film, along with the technical datasheet, so you can evaluate the shifting effect and print quality before committing to a custom design or production order.
What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
Stocked grades start from 1 jumbo roll. Custom constructions or coatings typically start from 3,000–5,000 square meters, depending on complexity.
What adhesive and liner options are available?
Permanent, removable, deep-freeze, high-tack or wash-off adhesive (water-based or hot-melt), on white glassine, PET or CCK/kraft liner — matched to your surface and environment.
