Hologram Manufacturers Association of India

With the advent of new reprographics techniques like digitization scanning and color photocopying, important sensitive, valuable documents, labels and seals were becoming immensely vulnerable to the threat of counterfeit and forgery. It was hence both desirable and imperative that all such important documents, labels and seals should carry an optical image (security label/seal) as a protection against counterfeit and forgery. Thus was the advent of holograms which with their high-quality and high definition optical image are indeed effective in combating fraud forgery and counterfeit.
Hologram was invented by Physicist Dr. Dennis Gabor in 1998. A hologram is not made by printing or by some kind of ink as is commonly supposed by the sophisiticated technology of Laser optics.
