Metallic foils – used to protect the substrate against duplication. The high reflectivity and bright shiny finish is much harder to recreate digitally. (Tax receipts, Licences, Work permits etc.)
Holographic foils - can create dramatic light diffractive features that change colour and appearance which makes accurate copying or simulation very difficult. (Tax stamps, Cheques, Bank drafts etc.)
The stamping process ‘embeds’ the feature into the substrate and can create a ‘tactile’ feature.
The HSF can be combined with complex embossing dies to ‘personalise’ the stamped image (as seen in the DuogramHD picture)
HSF is used as an additional layer of security; integrated and combined with the document to provide a defence against fraudulent alteration or duplication.
In many instances, the HSF is used as a dramatic visual representation of the customers own branding.
