Holograms Head Up Security Awards
Banknote security features won two out of the five categories in the 2023 Excellence in Holography Awards, presented by the International Hologram Manufacturers Association (IHMA) at the recent annual online Holography Conference.
The ‘Best Applied Security Product’ award went to Louisenthal for the Green LongLife RollingStar® Hologram Micromirror LEAD Mix. This supports the holistic concept of optimised storytelling and counterfeit resilience in an innovative way by outstanding integration to the print and attractive and dynamic animated structures.
The judges particularly noted the complex combination of micro (holo) and macro (mirror) structures and colourshift, integrating a traditional hologram with a micromirror feature incorporating ‘great’ dynamics and 3D.
The winner of the Best Origination category was META Materials for its QUANTUM stripe banknote authentication product. Based on the company’s award-winning KolourOptik® technology, QUANTUM stripe combines movement, 3D stereoscopic depth, and multi-colour effects in an ultrathin form factor.
In addition, the QUANTUM stripe also won the Best in Show award, having scored the highest in all five categories (the others being Best Packaging, Best Innovation, and Best Display or Emerging Technology).https://ihma.org/industry-award-winners-reflect-the-pinnacle-of-success-for-holography/
