Custom Hologram Stickers
Custom hologram stickers shimmer with rainbow colour as they catch the light, which makes them both hard to ignore and hard to copy convincingly. Brands use them as authenticity seals on genuine products, as tamper-evident closures on boxes, and as merch that fans actually want to stick on laptops and water bottles.

Two Very Different Reasons to Choose Holographic
Hologram stickers serve two quite separate purposes, and it helps to know which one you are buying for.
The first is security. A holographic seal on a product or box tells the customer the item is genuine and unopened. Counterfeiters can print a logo, but reproducing a holographic film with matching patterns, serial numbers and void effects is far more difficult and expensive, which makes fakes easier to spot.
The second is pure visual appeal. Holographic film is eye-catching, playful and very popular for stickers given away with orders, sold as merchandise or used to decorate packaging. Here the goal is delight rather than protection.
Some brands do both at once. A cosmetics label might seal each box with a small holographic logo that reassures buyers, while the same shimmer reinforces a playful, premium image. Deciding the main job first helps you choose the right film, adhesive and features. For a matching set, the same artwork also works on our printed address labels.
Film Types and Patterns
Holographic stickers start with a metallised film that has a light-diffracting pattern pressed into its surface. Standard rainbow film gives the classic shifting spectrum. Patterned films add repeating stars, dots, glitter, shattered glass or fine lines across the surface.
For security labels, a custom pattern or a film with your logo embossed into the holographic layer is the strongest option because it cannot simply be bought off the shelf. For merch and decoration, stock patterns give plenty of variety at a lower cost.
Clear holographic overlays apply a rainbow sheen over printed artwork, so colours stay visible while still flashing as the sticker moves. This is popular for illustrations and character stickers.
Adhesive choice matters as much as the film. A permanent adhesive suits security seals and products that will be handled roughly. A removable adhesive suits merch stickers stuck on laptops and phone cases, where people may want to move them later without leaving residue. p3 Plain removable stickers for laptops are covered on our vinyl stickers with removable adhesive page.

Tamper-Evident and Void Options
A tamper-evident hologram sticker shows if it has been removed. Void labels leave a pattern or the word void behind on the surface when peeled away, and the label itself shows the same message. Destructible films break into small pieces when someone tries to lift them, so they cannot be reapplied.
They are useful on boxes of electronics, cosmetics, supplements and spare parts, placed over the opening of a box, the cap of a bottle or the seam of a pouch. They also seal warranty points on devices, showing whether a casing has been opened.
Combine void or destructible film with a unique serial number or QR code and you have a strong authenticity check: the customer can confirm the code on your website, and a resealed or fake product is easy to spot. p2 Seals that cross a pouch seam work with our printed mylar bags for supplements.
Printing on Top of the Shine
Artwork can be printed over the holographic film in full colour or in selected spot colours. Many designs leave some areas unprinted so the hologram shows through, and print white ink underneath parts of the design where colours need to stay solid and bright.
Simple, bold artwork works best. Fine lines and small text can become hard to read against a moving background. If you need legible text, such as an ingredient list or serial number, print it on a solid white area within the sticker.
Shapes are flexible: circles, squares, rectangles and custom die-cut outlines that follow your logo or character.
Ask to see a printed sample if colour accuracy is important. Holographic film shifts colour with viewing angle, so a brand red can look slightly different as the sticker tilts. A sample shows you how your colours behave in real light before committing. p3 The white-ink approach is the same as on our transfer stickers on clear film.
Sizing and Placement
Security seals are usually small: a round or rectangular label that spans the opening of a box or the cap of a bottle. Merch stickers tend to be larger so the holographic effect has room to shine.
Measure the surface you are applying to and allow a margin. A seal across a box opening should overlap both the lid and the body enough to bond firmly to each.
If you apply labels by machine, tell us the roll width, core size and label direction your applicator uses.
For curved surfaces such as bottles and tubes, choose a smaller sticker or a more flexible film, because rigid holographic film can lift at the edges when wrapped around a tight curve.
Apply stickers to clean, dry surfaces at room temperature. Dust, grease or cold packaging stops the adhesive bonding fully, and a security seal that peels too easily undermines its purpose. p4 Round seals for jar lids follow our circle stickers page for diameter advice.
Who Orders Hologram Stickers
Cosmetic and skincare brands seal boxes and jars to prove products are new and genuine. Supplement and nutrition brands use tamper-evident holograms on tubs and pouches. Electronics and accessory sellers place warranty seals on devices. Fashion and streetwear labels use hologram swing-tag stickers to authenticate products.
Artists, illustrators and gaming creators sell holographic sticker sheets and use them as order extras. Event organisers use holographic wristband stickers and passes that are hard to fake at the door.
Ticket sellers and membership clubs also add hologram stickers to cards and passes, while schools and training providers use them to mark genuine course materials. The common thread is a need to show at a glance that something is real.
Small online shops increasingly add a holographic thank-you sticker to every parcel, which costs little and makes unboxing feel special. p3 Swing-tag authentication for clothing pairs with our clothing hang tags on heavy card.
Send Us the Seal You Use Now, Even a Peeled One
Hologram orders go faster when we can see what the sticker replaces or sits beside. Post a current seal, or photograph it on the box, and tell us whether the job is security or decoration; the answer decides film, adhesive and whether void or destructible features are worth paying for. For a security seal, say if you need a serial number or QR code, and measure the opening it must span so it bonds to both lid and body.
For merch, choose a stock rainbow or glitter film and keep text on a solid white area. Tell us sheets or rolls, and for machine application the core size and label direction. The custom quote arrives by email within one working day, from £0.25 a sticker on many sizes, with the minimum set per job so a small artist can run sheets.
The free proof shows the artwork against the chosen film. After approval, production takes 4 to 7 working days and the stickers reach UK mainland addresses by free tracked delivery. Brands that add a seal to a bottle as well as the box often order shrink sleeve labels for bottle caps in the same job.

Hologram Stickers Questions
What buyers ask before ordering hologram stickers.
Do hologram stickers stop counterfeiting?
They make copying much harder and fakes easier to spot, especially with custom film, void features and serial numbers. No label makes copying impossible, but a well-designed seal is a strong deterrent.
What does a void sticker do?
When peeled off, it leaves the word void or a pattern on the surface and on the label, showing the product has been opened. The label cannot be reapplied cleanly once lifted.
Can each sticker have a unique number?
Yes. Sequential serial numbers or unique QR codes let customers verify products on your website.
Can I print full colour artwork on holographic film?
Yes. Print can sit over the film, with white ink underneath where colours need to look solid.
Which film is best for merch stickers?
Standard rainbow or patterned films such as glitter or stars give the most eye-catching result for merchandise. A clear holographic overlay keeps printed artwork visible underneath.
Will small text be readable?
Small text is best printed on a solid white area within the sticker, because a shifting background can make it hard to read. Keep it at 6 pt or larger.
Can stickers be supplied on rolls?
Yes. Tell us your applicator's core size, roll width and label direction.
Are destructible films different from void films?
Yes. Destructible films break apart when lifted and cannot be reapplied, while void films leave a visible message.
Can security seals be ready before a new product batch ships?
Yes, with a little planning. Seals are made in 4 to 7 working days once the free proof is approved, then delivered on free tracked UK mainland delivery in 2 to 3 working days, so order them alongside your product run.
Can stickers be cut to my logo shape?
Yes. Custom die-cut outlines are available in most sizes.
Can a small artist order holographic sticker sheets?
Yes. Minimums are low and quoted per job, so small runs of sticker sheets are welcome.
