Dear Readers,
Welcome to the 16th issue of The Holography Times.
We all are aware that branding and packaging are
important components of marketing. While branding
differentiates a company’s product from their
competition, packaging is a marketing tool used to
refl ect the brand.
With thousands of product launches every year, an
innovative use of packaging can enhance the brand
appeal as well as sell the product it contains.
This issue brings our cover story on ‘Holographic
packaging’, which will help you in revaluating your
approach towards how holographic packaging can
augment brand appeal and protect brand equity. Apart
from this, the issue also covers tender updates, latest
patents, news briefs from the industry, along with book
reviews and much more. We hope you would like this
issue as much as you have liked the former ones. Our
only aim is to provide you an update on the industry
trends to enable you be more informed and use the
information provided as and when required.

3D Holograms to become forgery proof
identiiers
Bayer Material Science has
developed light sensitive
ilms that are marketed under the
Bayfol HX that has its applications
in manufacturing ID cards that
are forgery proofed.
The technology involves
photopolymer ilms such as
the Bayfol HX wherein the
holographic image is inscribed
on it and upon exposure to laser
beams is made visible thereby
providing secure physical
authentication.
These photopolymer materials
are cost-effective, ideal for mass
production since they do not
require any chemical processes or
thermal treatment to go through.
Bayfol HX based holograms can
be portraits, company logos or
even stereograms. The material
ensures that the colour of
the portrait does not change
irrespective of the angle it is
viewed from hence the rainbow
effect as we see in conventional
holographic material is
completely avoided. Unlike
the conventional holographic
materials, the Bayfol HX requires
no metallic background and
virtually any background can be
utilized.
De La Rue secured its biggest
VISA hologram order
Bayer MaterialScience distributes
Bayfol HX for security related
applications and to select
hologram manufacturers with
specialized knowledge. It caters
to the automotive, electronics
and electrical, construction,
sports and leisure industries
and had 30 productions centres
and employ close to 14700
staff worldwide. Bayer Material
Science has a turnover of € 10.2
billion and is considered to be one
of the world’s premier polymer
manufacturing companies. ■

Kurz new art in design box
The stamping foil
manufacturer Kurz
presented the premiere edition
of its “Presentation” design and
art box at this year’s Luxepack.
The company plans to produce a
new edition of the Presentation
box on an annual basis, and to
dedicate each one to a speciic
theme. The irst edition, titled
Metropolis, deals thematically
with various metropolises
around the world. The Metropolis
box contains six individual
smaller boxes, each representing
a speciic metropolis. The
packaging of each box has been
designed in such a way as to
symbolize the characteristics
and distinguishing qualities
of the corresponding city,
thereby highlighting the wide
variety of ways in which hot
stamping and cold foiling can
be used to convey messages.
The boxes demonstrate how
warm or cool metallic tones,
glittery holographic structures,
lavish structured stampings
or sumptuous reliefs can
be employed to capture the
atmosphere of a city.
Invitation to collectors
The packaging design adorns ive
sides of each box, but does not
extend to the sixth side. Instead,
this side of each box presents a
portion of an artistic image so
that, when all boxes have been
arranged correctly, a complete
picture is formed. The creator
of this artwork, which has been
produced using stamping foils,
is Michael Matthaeus Martha,
an artist in Fürth where the
headquarters of the KURZ Group
is located. Martha’s picture
depicts an artistic interpretation
of the metropolis theme, which
is explained in an accompanying
lealet. Kurz is offering this work
to its customers as a genuine
collector’s item. It is the irst
item in a planned collection of
artworks, all of which will be
decorated with hot stamping or
cold foils and assembled from
individual packaging items. ■

Holographic Packaging
Enhancing brand appeal and protecting brand equity
Product packaging plays an important role in product protection as
well a key marketing role in developing on shelf appeal, providing
product information and establishing brand image and awareness.
With nearly thousands of products introduced every year, selection
of a right technology is a big challenge both for packaging experts
and product manufacturers. Further, in time of global market
conditions, brand owners are also facing the problem of tampering
and counterfeiting. Here, we examine how holographic packaging
playing an important role in brand enhancement and brand equity
protection.
Introduction:
Hologram has evolved from
security to packaging since
GlaxoSmithKline used it in 1989.
In 1990’s period many companies
follow up the Glaxo example and
started using holographic lexible
packaging for product launches
and promotions.
Cadbury used it and resulted in
increased sales of 25% to one of
its confectionary bar. The most
signiicant development was
the adoption of holography by
Colgate Palmolive for most of
its dental care range throughout
the world as a long term feature,
following the outstanding
success of holographic ilm on
two cartons of its toothpaste
in Europe. Although Colgate
followed SmithKline in it use
of holography for its carton,
Colgate seized the initiative to
use holography in co-ordinated
manner across the world of its
dental care range globally.
With the progress of time,
holographic ilms and foils
feature in a variety of packaging
constructions and are used for
a huge range of products from
low value fast moving consumer
goods (FMCG) such as snack
foods and confectionary products
to premium priced products such
as spirits and perfumes.
What is holographic
packaging?
In general terms, the uses of
holographic materials, foils or
ilms in packaging can be termed
as “holographic packaging”. The
holographic solution includes;
- Holographic hot stamp foils
- Laminating ilms
- Holographic selective cold
transfer ilm
- Holographic total cold
transfer ilm
These all solutions can be used
in lexible, rigid packaging and
decorative labels. Further, overt
and covert security features
can also be combined in these
solutions and if designed
appropriately can be used to
protect the product packaging
from counterfeiting as well
increasing brand appeal.
“Cadbury used
it and resulted
in increased
sales of 25%
to one of its
confectionary
bar.”

Uses by industry
Today, holograms have entered
into main stream of packaging
and are now viewed by many of
brand owners as a powerful tool-combining
signiicant packaging
enhancement with brand
protection. With thousands of
products introduced every year,
brand owners have challenges
- To get the attention of
customers to be successful in
moving their product off the
shelf
- To protect its products from
ill effects of counterfeiting
Holography Enhancing Brand
Appeal
The innovative use of holographic
packaging has a proven track
record of increasing sales by
providing eye catching visual
impact in the form of registered
image holograms or wallpaper
designed holography with
a certain pattern, logo or
trademark. In this era, where
customers face the psychology
of choice, holographic packaging
help in getting the attention
of the customers and moving
the product off the shelf.

the most commonly counterfeit
goods include nutracuticals,

losses the companies make in the

holograms are used as printed
material in forms of small
stickers or labels, and pasted to a
corner of the package, or on the
lid opening. But with holographic
packaging, you can cover more
of the package’s surface with
holograms making it harder to
counterfeit.
Conclusion:
Holography is pushing
the boundaries in areas of
packaging and authentication.
The technology is limited to
imagination. Holograms and
holographic effects have proved
themselves successfully for
packaging of branded products,
foods, pharmaceuticals etc
for many years. However, a
combination of multiple layers
of overt and covert security is
always beneicial. As technology
continues to develop, there’s no
reason why the hologram will not
continue to evolve as packaging
designers become ever more
comfortable with it and continue
to see the beneits unfold before
their eyes.

Dixie Toga
Holographic Empty Packs
Client/Brand : Dixie Toga, Latin America
Year : 2010
Project title : Dixie Toga Holographic Empty Packs
Creative team : Casa Rex, Design Agency
The background to the campaign
When a brand wants to sell its products, packaging is a way of
making it better looking and more attractive to the clients. What
happens though when a brand wants to sell a … packaging? That
was the problem of Dixie Toga a packaging brand which could
now sell holographic shopping bags.To inform their clients
about it, Dixie Toga appointed Casarex a design agency for the
purpose. They created a series of “empty” packaging’s with
amazing graphics and designs on them.
The challenge/trigger event
Objective : To sell holography for packaging
Challenge : To sell empty holographic packs.
The solution
As the objective was to sell holography for packaging, it would
be natural to expect to see holographic packs. But this posed
a problem: there was nothing inside the packs and therefore,
no theme or concept that could be explored from a design
perspective. Faced with this scenario, instead of developing
meaningless dummies posing as real products (a common
technique used in the packaging industry), Casa Rex came up
with an innovative concept and developed the Dixie Toga Empty
Packs, turning the ‘no content’ issue into the creative idea
behind the execution.
The designing company personalized phrases like ‘I’m empty’
or ‘There’s absolutely nothing inside me’ to deliver relevant
and fun content for each holographic pack design. To portray
the different moods that holography can add to packaging, the
agency identiied and developed six sets, each one made out of
the substrates that are suitable for holography.
The results
The end result was a memorable collection of promotional tool
for the company. The Empty Packs were Merit winners at the
2010 International Design Awards and received a nomination
by Pentawards.

Pharmaceutical Anti-Counterfeiting
A book provides a strategy on combating drug counterfeiting, by C S Jeena
BOOK FACTS
Pharmaceutical Anti-counterfeiting, combating the
real danger from fake drugs by Mark Davison
Wiley Publications;
Pages 426, US $ 89.95
Drug counterfeiting is
not a new phenomenon
for this industry. The book
Pharmaceutical Counterfeiting
by Mark Davison may not be the
irst one to examine the menace
of drug counterfeiting, but is the
irst to provide a comprehensive
guide on the currently available
anti-counterfeiting technologies
and the possible solutions to
combat the problem.
The author, Mark Davisonis
himself a renowned
pharmaceutical consultant and
is currently the CEO of Blue
Sphere Health Ltd. Davison has a
great deal of industry experience
in pharmaceutical as well as
product security and hence has
written this book after careful
research and insight into the
industry and its problems.
It is very likely for the industry
professionals to appreciate the
author’s ability on categorically
addressing the issues like
drug counterfeiting, current
authentication and tacking
technologies, future approaches
and examples on drug
counterfeiting from around the
world.
His discussions on future policy/
authentication technologies
hold a promise to be useful
for policy makers and drug
companies as he emphases on
the need of integration of both
digital and non-digital (physical
and sensory) authentication
methods for pharmaceutical
companies. In the book he has
also suggested the policy makers
to think on focusing over health
and patient protection rather
than handling and deining IP
issues and legal deinitions. The
book also examines the micro
and macro drives, government
involvements, geographical and
regional issues, and consumer
behaviour along with practices in
some other industries.
However, it would have been
even better if the author had
highlighted some of industry’s
best practices adopted by
various pharmaceutical
companies besides giving a
comparison of authentication
technologies in terms of their
strengths, weakness, usages
etc. Perhaps a future edition on
these pointers will do even well
with the readers.
For those determined to take
an action against counterfeit
pharmaceutical and healthcare
products, will ind the book
useful.
