Introduction to Holographic Cardboard

Holographic Cardboard is a high-impact packaging material known for its vibrant color shifts, 3D visual effects, and glossy finish. It elevates product presentation, making it ideal for cosmetics, gift boxes, electronics, and premium branding.

We offer two types of holographic cardboard:

  1. Environmentally Transferred Cardboard
    This eco-friendly option uses holographic transfer technology without plastic film lamination, making it fully recyclable while maintaining a brilliant holographic effect. It’s perfect for brands focused on sustainability and visual appeal.

  2. Laminated Holographic Cardboard
    This type is layered with different holographic films to achieve enhanced durability, gloss, and functionality:

  • Laminated with PET Film: Offers high strength, clarity, and resistance to heat and moisture.

  • Laminated with BOPP Film: Provides excellent flexibility, lightweight properties, and cost-efficiency.

  • Laminated with Foil : Delivers a metallic, high-gloss finish with superior barrier properties.


All options support high-quality printing, embossing, and die-cutting—making Holographic Cardboard a versatile and premium packaging choice.
