How Do I Create More Secure ID Cards?

As an ID Professional, customers looking to make their ID cards more secure often ask me, "How can I create a more secure ID card for my organization?" Their reasons for adding more security range fromHolographic Cards being concerned that cards could potentially be duplicated or counterfeited or wanting to provide an added layer of security on their ID cards for authenticity. That’s when I tell my customers about our holographic ID cards. They offer an out-of-the-box way to create a custom ID card while preventing exact duplication of cards. In addition, holographic ID cards increase the level of security on cards without the cost of holographic laminates or if your current card printer doesn't feature the lamination capability. You can also have a holographic image embedded into the card's construction. Tamper-evident image appears below the surface of the card, providing maximum durability and resistance to counterfeiting or tampering. This is a 3-dimensional effect on a flat surface which can only be seen at certain angles. We work with many organizations that need to ensure their cards cannot be produced with anyone who has printing capabilities. Holographic ID cards present a great added visual security which makes it difficult or next to impossible to authenticate while still providing superior graphic quality. We offer a variety of holographic cards to meet your organization's security requirements, including:
  • Fargo HoloMark cards feature a 3-dimensional hologram that changes color and appearance when viewed at an angle. The hologram can either be hand-applied after printing (less secure) or stamped on the surface of the blank cards (more secure) in your choice of one of four corners.
  • Magicard HoloPatch cards are designed for use in Magicard printers in conjunction with the HoloKote anti-counterfeiting system. When used along with the HoloKote feature of Magicard printers, HoloPatch cards have an appearance similar to holographic patches, but at a fraction of the cost.
  • Fargo Custom Metallized Holographic Foil cards feature a custom embedded metallic design within the card. They are instantly verifiable and virtually impossible to duplicate. A number of card security options are available, including pre-printing, microtext, UV ink, and more.
  • Fargo Custom Translucent Holographic Foil cards feature a custom translucent design embedded within the card. They are instantly verifiable and virtually impossible to duplicate. A number of additional security options are available, including pre-printing, microtext, UV ink, and more.
  • Zebra Premier Plus Hologram cards feature an embedded standard design that extends across the entire card surface. Choose a standard holographic design of gloves, diamonds, eagles, or keys.
