Essential Facts About Cartons and Boxes

PVC, OPP, BOPP, and other plastic films. Varieties include metallized holographic film, transparent holographic overlay film, and holographic hot-stamping film, in gold, silver, red, green, black, and more. Widely used across printing and packaging — as stickers, carton laminates, and apparel applications, and on tobacco, spirits, beverage, and food packaging — it adds anti-counterfeit protection while elevating the look of the pack.

Shipping boxes typically use three or five plies (seven-ply is rare): inner liner, corrugated medium, core, and outer liner. Liners use testliner or kraft paper, and the core uses corrugated medium — color and feel vary by paper type and by mill.

The film substrates used for holographic laser film are mainly

2. Holographic stamping foil

Combining holographic stamping foil with hot-stamping technology produces dazzling holographic marks and three-dimensional anti-counterfeit emblems on printed surfaces. These marks can also add sealing and tamper-evident backing layers, securing certificates, cards, tickets, and trademarks; applied to outer packaging, their anti-counterfeit strength far exceeds today's single holographic labels. Custom-plate holographic stamping foils can also be produced to each customer's specification — and because the custom artwork embeds the brand's specific requirements atop ever-advancing holography, both the anti-counterfeit model and the decorative effect stay a step ahead.
