holoLAMINATE

A range of passport overlay materials, built to suit different document types and different issuance processes — from a central passport office to a local, same-day emergency issuance desk.

About

An overlay laminate sits directly over a passport's bio-data page, sealing the photograph and personal details against tampering, delamination and photo substitution — one of the most common ways a genuine passport gets altered.

Not every issuing authority works the same way. A national passport office running centralised, high-volume production needs a different overlay from a local consulate issuing documents on demand — so Holoptica offers three distinct material types rather than a single one-size-fits-all product.

Three materials, one purpose

Each is built for a different issuance process — choose by volume and turnaround, not by which sounds most advanced.

LACQUER

Ultra-Thin Film

A crystal-clear, high-security lacquer overlay with a supportive carrier, developed specifically for the latest generation of travel documents.

POLYESTER

High-Clarity Overlay

High clarity base films combined with complex co-polymer heat-activated adhesive coatings, built to support and protect the passport bio-data page.

PRESSURE SENSITIVE

Self-Adhesive Film

Ideal for local or emergency issuance situations and short-run document production, where heat-activation equipment isn't practical.

Applications

Wherever a bio-data page needs sealing

holoLAMINATE is built for passports specifically, but the same sealing principle applies across the government document family Holoptica protects.
