Frequently Asked Questions

What do I look for in a Hologram?
To effectively use holography to promote quality, the hologram itself has to be quality. Be sure the manufacturer uses the latest technology available such as “Dot-Matrix “or “E-Beam” which is more advanced and with higher definition than “2D/3D”. The thickness of the foil should be at least 23 microns and the image is reflected in deep rich colours. With such a wide array of colorful foils to choose from your brand identity can be further enhanced by the creative use of colour.

How do I choose a supplier?
Choosing a supplier is important as you are trusting this company with your holographic master and the effective marketing of your company. Be sure you know where the holograms are produced, who makes them, who has access to the facility and the security measures in protecting the master. Get a list of companies that the manufacturer has produced holograms for and ask to see samples. The design element is very important in order to achieve the best results so speak with them about their design background; meet with them at their factory to see their organization, attention to detail, and eye for design. For added security ask the manufacturer to register your hologram in the registry of IHMA (International Hologram Manufacturers Association) of which they should be a member. Keep in mind your brand is in the hands of this company.

How will I know how the hologram will turn out?
Before production we will offer several artistic options for you to choose the best hologram for your company. You will see from our sample dossier the many styles of holograms possible and you will notice how our Dot Matrix holograms can reflect deep rich colours with excellent high definition and image clarity.

How much will it cost?
The price will vary on size, quantities, and the exact hologram you order. As you shop around you will notice most hologram manufacturers have very high minimum order quantities and at prices out of reach for many companies. The unique system of Holographic Studio S.L. enables much better pricing even at lower quantities. With our lower prices we can still offer the most sophisticated and beautifully designed Dot Matrix holograms available.

How long will it take?
The first order will usually take about 30 days after the final approval of the artwork. Each additional order takes about 2 to 3 weeks. Holographic Studio S.L. will make every effort to satisfy rush orders.

Where are you located?
Our office and design center is centrally located at Paseo de Gracia 115 in Barcelona, Spain. You are free to come by and see our wide variety of holographic applications and talk in detail about how we can create a spectacular custom hologram for your product in the image of your company.

Can I order direct from Asia?
Choosing the right manufacturer is very important and it is crucial to know who you are dealing with. It is best to visit the factory in person to see the installations, talk with the art department, make sure the company has state-of-the-art equipment, check the security of the installations, and make sure they can register your hologram with the IHMA (International Holographic Manufacturers Association). Websites can be misleading and you need to know who you can trust with your hologram master and the image of your company. Apart from possible complications of international customs paperwork, import duties, languages, freight, misunderstandings, etc. the final product may not turn out as expected and you will have little recourse. Holographic Studio, S.L. takes care of the complete process from creating the original artistic design until the final delivery of the holograms to you.
