The Label That Moves With the Light
Holographic labels are one of the most visually distinctive finishes in packaging — a multi-dimensional shimmer that changes colour and pattern with every shift of light or angle. Produced using rainbow holographic foil applied to chosen areas, or by printing onto holographic-base face stock for full-coverage shimmer, holographic labels command attention on shelf without any additional embellishment. They are equally suited to premium brand positioning and product assurance applications, where a holographic seal signals quality and gives consumers confidence that a product is genuine and untampered. From single-product launches to high-volume retail SKUs, holographic labels deliver a visual impact that standard print simply cannot match.
Where Holographic Labels Work Hardest
Holographic labels are widely used across premium spirits and wine, cosmetics and beauty, confectionery and gifting, sports collectables and retail technology. Their unique light-catching quality makes them the default choice for limited editions, seasonal launches and gift packaging — categories where shelf theatre drives purchase decisions. In product assurance applications, holographic finishes are paired with tamper-evident and VOID substrates and serialised QR numbering on pharmaceutical, nutraceutical and premium consumer goods, where visible evidence of tampering is a regulatory or brand requirement. Whether the goal is visual theatre or practical assurance, holographic labels deliver a finish that is immediately recognisable and difficult to replicate.
Printing holographic finishes at Onpack
Shorter runs and trial batches are produced on Onpack's HP Indigo digital press, keeping holographic finishes accessible without the plate costs of traditional processes.
Higher volume orders can move to UV flexo, which offers up to 10 print colour stations, including up to 9 spot colours, with optional extended colour gamut for precise colour matching.
Because holographic film is reflective, artwork needs enough contrast and clear space around fine text to stay legible once the finish is applied.
Every holographic job runs through Onpack's ISO9001 certified processes, with 100% vision camera quality control — ensuring foil registration, shimmer consistency and adhesive coverage are held to specification across the full run.
A press proof or physical sample is available before your full run, so you can review the holographic effect, pattern and any combined finishes in person before committing to volume.

Every clear label job starts with a sample. Apply our samples to your container in your real conditions before you commit to a run.
Frequently asked questions
Holographic foil is applied to selected areas of the label — either via cold foil in-line on the flexo press or hot foil on our ABG embellishment line — giving a targeted shimmer effect on chosen design elements. A holographic substrate prints onto a holographic-base face stock, giving full-coverage shimmer across the entire label without foil tooling.
Yes. Onpack pairs holographic finishes with tamper-evident, VOID and destructible substrates — which show visible evidence of removal — as well as serialised numbering and QR verification via variable data printing. Note that Onpack does not produce custom-originated security holograms, UV taggants or micro-text.
Yes. Holographic foil combined with embossing, debossing or spot UV varnish is a premium combination used across wine, spirits and cosmetic packaging. Embossing and hot foil are applied on our digital ABG embellishment line, registered precisely to the holographic areas.
Premium spirits and wine, cosmetics and beauty, confectionery and gifting, sports collectables and retail technology rely on holographic labels most — spanning both the premium visual impact and product assurance use cases.
A high-resolution PDF is the preferred format, with holographic foil or special-finish areas indicated on a dedicated spot colour layer. If you are printing onto a holographic substrate, standard four-colour artwork applies. Onpack’s prepress team will advise on setup before production begins.
