Spectratek's holographic decorative films are engineered for ease of use, blazing color, performance under inking, and durability. Just set any of our thirteen diffraction patterns next to holography from any other manufacturer and the difference in quality will be obvious. Spectratek's diffraction patterns are richer in color, depth, and clarity. Notice that our embossed holography is always "On".

Whether your viewing angle is straight on or almost 90°, the apparent brightness of our product never weakens. Michael Foster's proprietary mastering technology enables him to optically engineer Spectratek's embossed holography to perform consistently regardless of viewing angle, distance, or overprinting.

We strongly suggest for those printers, who are considering the use of embossed holography from any other manufacturer, to print a sample on the holographic product they are thinking of buying. The sample's optical performance after printing will no doubt have been greatly muted; the prismatic colors will look duller and milkier, the overall contrast will be diffused, the eye catching "action" of the holography largely subdued.

Unfortunately dozens of printing and packaging companies have discovered this feature of poorly made holography the hard way. In folding carton and bag constructions, holographic film laminated to paperboard is far more beneficial than holography embossed directly on paperboard. Cartons and bags made with film to paper or paperboard laminate gain durability because polyester films are water repellant and have a high tensile strength. The bottom line is that all of Spectratek's holographic products outperform the competition on every level.

Listed below are some of Spectratek's converted holographic decorative film products, their general specifications, and some of their sample end uses. Please keep in mind that Spectratek can recreate all of our diffraction gratings to incorporate such things as eye-marks for die-cutting, other embedded holographic images, or non-holographic metallic finishes where volumes warrant. If the conversion you seek is not listed here, please contact us as we have built our business on finding solutions to almost any application architecture.

Since 1987, Spectratek has offered a full line of pressure sensitive adhesive film product for label printing, stickers, and signage applications. It is more than likely that the first diffraction pattern or 3-D hologram you ever saw was Spectratek's product. We use only premium liners guaranteeing that the adhesion quality, coating integrity, and surface flatness of our PSA product are unmatched in the decorative film market. Our stock PSA liner weights are 50 and 90Lbs, although the full gamut of weights, (20Lbs - 150Lbs), are available upon request. All of our roll format PSA films, regardless of liner weight, are available in 1 or 2 mil films with standard web widths of 24" and 39".

The stock master roll lengths for 50Lb PSA lined film, (recommended for Flexo automatic labeling equipment), and 90Lb PSA lined films are 5,000' and 2,500', respectively. Lengths for other liner weights may vary. Conversion to smaller roll lengths and widths is available per customer specifications. For 90Lb PSA lined films, or greater, sheeting is available. Please contact us for further production information. Spectratek has also made available a number of specialty adhesive products that include: PSA coated film with a clear PET liner, Nylon thermal adhesive coated film, and film laminated to static cling vinyl.

Our line of holographic paper laminate can be used for any paper application. Uses for this line include, but are in no way limited to: gift-wrap, Christmas decorations, bags, tubes, label face stock, ribbons, bows, page decoration, response mailings, crafts, novelty enhancement, wallpaper, and all types of print publishing. This amazing paper/film product looks, feels, and tears like paper while retaining the premium look of Spectratek's embossed film holography. Holographic film laminate paper is constructed by laminating embossed and metalized 48 gauge, (1/2mil), ultra-clear polyester film to premium quality paper substrate.

Our paper laminate is available on 30, (prime label stock), 60, 70, 80, and 100 pound paper stock. Paper laminate rolls are available in web widths of 39.5" and 54.5". Master roll lengths for 30lb prime label stock and 70lb paper laminate are 6,500' and 3,500' respectively, although we will convert to longer or shorter lengths upon request. One mil paper laminate is available upon request.

Spectratek's holographic film to paperboard laminate is taking the packaging world by storm. The gaming, video, cosmetics, confections, food and beverage, health and beauty, and trading card industries are all employing the electric power of holography.
It was in part to accommodate the soaring growth of this industry that Spectratek's recently began and completed stage one of it's production build out, more than tripling our capacity. Folding carton, clamshell, and insert packagers around the world have discovered how easy it is to give their customers the seductive, elegant, and dramatically alive look that only Spectratek's holographic film paperboard can provide.
The most stunning look in all of packaging is when our holographic film to paperboard laminate is used in combination with paperboard emboss/de-emboss stamping. Lucas Films, Sega, Barbie, and Schick have all used this technique in their packaging, giving their branded names holographic highlights that glow electrically. Only Spectratek's performance films can provide such dramatic effects.

Our paperboard laminates are available with ½ mil film bonded to 10, 12, 18, and 24-point board; 8, 14, 16, and 20-point paperboard laminates are available on request. Spectratek will supply converted sheets to customer specifications, the maximum width being 54.5".
