Introduction to Silver and Holographic Cardboard

HardVogue's Silver and Holographic Cardboard: The Visual Magic That Makes Your Packaging Shine

In the world of packaging, we've mastered the magic of light and shadow. Our 250-800 micron Silver and Holographic cardboard is like a "light and shadow cloak" that changes colors, making every packaging the focal point on the shelf. You've probably seen those perfume gift boxes shimmering under the light or the stunning laser effects on electronic product packaging—chances are, that's our magic at work.


We've prepared two "light and shadow tricks" for different scenarios:

Silver Metallic: Pure luxury with a mirror-like finish

Holographic Illusion: 3D light effects that change with every angle

This glowing cardboard hides several surprises:

✓ A 300% increase in light reflectivity, making your packaging shine like a spotlight

✓ 40% higher bending strength than ordinary cardboard

✓ 100% recyclable, because shining should be eco-friendly too


In HardVogue's lab, German nano-imprinting equipment meticulously crafts every inch of this magical effect. Our "spectrometer" quality control system ensures that every batch of cardboard maintains consistent light effects.

From luxury goods that need to make a stunning debut to high-tech electronic products, we make packaging a visual declaration of your brand. When your customers can't help but take photos and share the packaging because it's so dazzling, that's our proudest moment. In this age of visual economics, your packaging must "shine" too.
