Demetallized Hologram Labels – Selective Metal Removal for Enhanced Security

hologram demetalized labels

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:

void hologram layers

Holographic Layer

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

metallic effect holograms

Metalized Layer

Vacuum-deposited aluminum or other metallic coating

self destruction holograms

Demetallization

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

pet film for void hologram

Transparent Windows

Areas where metal is removed become see-through, allowing light to pass through

The manufacturing process:

step 1 void hologram labels

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

step 2 void hologram stickers

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

step 3 void hologram labels

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

step 4 void hologram stickers

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.
