The following is a brief introduction Knowledge of laser holographic logo printing.

Laser holographic logo printing is a kind of anti-counterfeiting printing technology developed using laser holographic imaging technology. A three-dimensional model is irradiated from a different angle with a laser and the reference light split from the laser. The light reflected by the model forms an interference fringe containing the holographic information of the model through a slit. This interference fringe is recorded on a photosensitive film, turned into a nickel plate, and then pressed on an aluminum-plated film to reproduce the holographic pattern of the model under ordinary light. This is the production principle of laser holography. The first laser holographic film logo was used for whiskey. Later this logo became popular all over the world and was widely used in anti-counterfeiting printing on various tickets, credit cards, product packaging, etc.

Laser holographic materials are contemporary high-tech products that combine molded holographic technology with optical, chemical, mechanical, and vacuum technologies. Laser holographic molding technology belongs to a kind of holographic grating technology.
