If you feel that fully-custom holography may be an option worth considering, refer to our section on custom holograms, then ask your HoloBank sales representative to provide you with further details. Although we have made every effort to provide high quality photo reproductions, photographs simply can't do justice to the real thing. We encourage you to ask your HoloBank sales representative for samples of the hologram images you re considering before issuing a purchase order. While the majority of our offerings feature dimensional hologram images, HoloBank also showcases a number of products which utilize holographic diffractive patterns. People occasionally refer to both types as holograms, but they are distincly different, and we think it's important to distinguish between them.
Holograms reflect light differently under various lighting conditions.
Direct sunlight and the focused lighting of spotlights or halogen lamps provide superlative detail and clarity. Diffuse fluorescent lighting or shaded natural light provide less than optimal viewing conditions. The bottom line, though, is that under most conditions, dimensional holograms command attention. Diffraction materials are used commonly today, from wrapping paper to bumper stickers, so our patterns have been designed to provide additional punch and light interplay. In addition to the diffractive offerings in our product section, be sure to have your HoloBank sales representative furnish you with our HoloBank Diffraction Labels product sheet.
