Why Bellevue Businesses Choose Us
Why Choose Holographic Cardstock
Holographic Cardstock — Prismatic Rainbow Packaging That Commands Retail Attention
Holographic cardstock is produced by laminating a diffraction grating metallic film to paperboard — creating a board with a prismatic surface that diffracts light into rainbow spectrum effects that shift and change as the viewing angle changes. The visual effect is impossible to reproduce with standard printing or foil — it is inherently three-dimensional and dynamic, changing appearance continuously as the package moves in light.
Holographic cardstock is the material for the highest-impact visual packaging applications: collector and limited edition products, premium youth brand packaging, holiday gift packaging, confectionery and novelty retail, and any application where standing out from across the retail floor is the packaging objective.
How Holographic Cardstock Creates Its Effect
The holographic film laminated to the board contains a microscopic diffraction grating — a surface with thousands of parallel grooves per millimeter that split white light into its component wavelengths at different angles. As the viewing angle changes, different wavelengths are reflected toward the viewer — creating the characteristic rainbow shift. This is the same physics as a CD surface or oil on water, but engineered specifically for packaging applications.
Printing Over Holographic Cardstock
Printing over holographic cardstock uses UV inks that are semi-transparent — allowing the holographic effect to show through lighter ink coverages while blocking it under heavier coverage. Design for holographic cardstock typically uses open areas and light-coverage elements to maximize holographic exposure, with brand elements in solid ink areas. The interaction between printed design and holographic base creates packaging that reads differently at different ink coverage levels — a unique design challenge that our pre-press team manages.

Holographic Cardstock Packaging in Bellevue — FAQs
Does printing over holographic cardstock reduce the effect?
Yes. Heavy ink coverage blocks the holographic effect in printed areas. Effective holographic packaging design uses strategic open areas and light coverage to balance brand communication with maximum holographic exposure.
Is holographic cardstock available in different pattern types?
Yes. Fine holographic (subtle shimmer), medium holographic (standard rainbow), coarse holographic (bold pattern visible from distance), and custom holographic patterns are available. Pattern selection affects both the visual character and the visibility distance of the holographic effect.
Can holographic cardstock be used for food packaging?
Holographic film laminate is not appropriate for direct food contact packaging. It is used for outer cartons and packaging not in contact with food product.
