What is the holographic effect?
Holography (from Greek holos - complete and graffiti - recording) is a method of recording and three-dimensional rendering of an image, based on the interference of highly coherent laser light. This allows us to get three-dimensional images.
These images are obtained without the use of lenses and, therefore, this method is also sometimes called lensless photography.
What is microperforation?
Destructive protection - mechanical disruption of micro perforations. If handled inappropriately, destruction and damage may occur. Perforation is also used as a paper self-adhesive seal on warranty devices (PCs, telephones). It is generally well known for being used for the production of highway signs (vignettes).
What is a protective paper?
We offer a range of specialty graphic, water colour, textured and ribbed papers that contain cotton, flax and hemp fibers.
Another special paper is the so-called security paper. Its composition has its specifications and also contains linen or abaca fibres. Furthermore, it has different physical values - higher wear resistance. In the structure of the paper is polyvinyl alcohol or gelatin.
Our latest innovation is the paper with a chip, metal fibres or it with a nanofiber.
What is a protective watermark?
Special paper with watermarks. This can be:
- commercial - national emblem, hatching, ripples, wheels,
- custom-made - directly for a specific customer (for larger orders).
With these handmade papers, the logo, text or graphics are visible in the backlight view. This is essentially caused by a different density of the paper mass. In the Czech Republic, it is produced by Ruční papírna Velké Losiny with which we have been having long-term cooperation.

Protective elements can also be printed with special metallic inks - so-called refinement of prints. Almost 75% of industrial products have decorative or functional surfaces. They are divided into high-gloss, matt, partial, structured, with optical elements. In this regard, we work closely with KURZ or TFP Universal.

Each individual sticker / seal can be numbered - personalized.
It is possible to number by classical printing from a height - so-called letterpress numbering (even with special colour - fluorescent, thermochromic), digital printing, optionally offset can also be used to personalize the printed matter itself. However, specific consultations are always recommended.
