Demetallized Hologram Labels – Selective Metal Removal for Enhanced Security
What Are Demetallized Hologram Labels?
Demetallized hologram labels are advanced security stickers created through a specialized process that selectively removes metal from specific areas of the holographic film. Unlike standard hologram labels where the metalized layer is continuous, demetallized holograms feature precisely patterned transparent windows where the metal has been removed—creating unique optical effects that are extremely difficult to replicate.
This sophisticated manufacturing process creates a powerful security solution with:
- Transparent windows – See-through areas that allow underlying packaging to show through
- Custom patterns – Logos, text, or designs created by metal removal
- Enhanced security – Complex manufacturing process that counterfeiters cannot easily duplicate
- Dual authentication – Visual features visible in both reflected and transmitted light
- Brand differentiation – Distinctive appearance that sets your products apart
At Holoseal, we are a leading demetallized hologram supplier in India, offering premium selective metal removal hologram labels for industries including pharmaceuticals, currency-grade security, and high-value brand protection. Whether you need windowed hologram labels for transparent packaging, selective metal removal security stickers, or high-security demetallized holograms, our team delivers precision-engineered solutions tailored to your requirements.

How Demetallized Hologram Stickers Work
Demetallized hologram stickers are created through a precise chemical or laser etching process that selectively removes metal from the holographic layer. Here's how they function:

Holographic Layer
23 or 36 micron PET film with custom holographic design and security features

Metalized Layer
Vacuum-deposited aluminum or other metallic coating

Demetallization
Precise removal of metal in specific patterns using chemical or laser etching

Transparent Windows
Areas where metal is removed become see-through, allowing light to pass through
The manufacturing process:

Your custom holographic master is created with your brand elements and security features & The holographic design is replicated onto high-quality PET film

A metalized layer (typically aluminum) is vacuum-deposited onto the film & A protective photoresist layer is applied in the pattern where metal should remain

Chemical or laser etching removes metal from unprotected areas & The protective layer is removed, leaving the final demetallized pattern

Adhesive is applied and labels are die-cut to your specifications & Each label is inspected for pattern accuracy and optical quality
This combination of precision metal removal and advanced holography creates labels that are visually distinctive and exceptionally difficult to counterfeit.

Design Guidelines for Demetallized Hologram Labels
To ensure the best results for your demetallized hologram labels, follow these guidelines:
Minimum Pattern Width
Fine details: Minimum 0.5mm width
Text: Minimum 0.5mm stroke width for legibility
Complex patterns: We can advise on manufacturability
Pattern Contrast
Demetallized patterns are most visible when:
The pattern is surrounded by metalized areas
Light passes through the transparent areas
The underlying packaging provides contrast
Registration Tolerance
Design with ±0.5mm registration tolerance in mind. Keep critical pattern elements away from label edges.
File Formats
We accept vector files (AI, EPS, CDR, PDF) with demetallization areas clearly defined. Specify which areas should be demetallized (transparent) and which should remain metalized.

Frequently Asked Questions About Demetallized Hologram Stickers
What is a demetallized hologram label?
A demetallized hologram label is a security sticker where the metalized layer has been selectively removed in specific patterns. This creates transparent windows that allow light to pass through, creating unique optical effects that are extremely difficult to counterfeit.
How are demetallized holograms different from standard holograms?
Standard holograms have a continuous metalized layer. Demetallized holograms have areas where the metal has been removed, creating transparent patterns. This adds an extra layer of security and visual complexity.
What patterns can be created through demetallization?
We can create logos, text, geometric patterns, and any custom pattern you specify. Fine details down to 0.5mm are possible.
Are demetallized holograms more secure than standard holograms?
Yes. The demetallization process requires specialized equipment and expertise that counterfeiters rarely possess. The combination of holography and selective metal removal creates a multi-layered security feature.
Can demetallized holograms be combined with other security features?
Absolutely. We can combine demetallization with void tamper technology, destructible substrates, microtext, UV markers, and other advanced security features.
