Holoptica's document protection and authentication system — a unique combination of high security holography and Near Field Communication technology, stacking several layers of protection into one feature.
holoNFC brings together everything a hologram can do visually with everything an NFC chip can do digitally. The result is a single security feature that a shopper can recognise at a glance, a specialist can examine forensically, a scanner can read automatically at the production line or customs, and a phone can tap to instantly verify and log.
Because each layer works independently, defeating one still leaves the others standing — a counterfeiter would need to simultaneously replicate custom holography, hidden forensic features, machine-readable data, synthetic DNA, and a genuine NFC chip.
Each layer adds a different kind of protection — visual, forensic, digital, biological and mobile — so that no single point of failure exists.
Recognisable at a glance, so a shopper or inspector can spot a fake without any tools.
Hidden features that only reveal themselves under specialist examination.
Read automatically by scanners on the production line, at retail or at customs.
Counterfeit-proof synthetic DNA, unique to the brand and impossible to replicate.
A phone tap authenticates instantly and logs the item for track & trace.
A joint development with Thinfilm ASA of Norway — the first thin-film NFC chip to incorporate a holographic component.
NFC technology is already adopted for passport solutions in many countries, but until holoNFC thinFILM, the NFC chip and the holographic feature were always separate components. Combining them into a single thin film gives document issuers one hybrid feature to specify and apply, instead of two.
The five-layer feature, the reader hardware behind it, and the mobile verification step it enables.
The visual and forensic layers, combined in one custom holographic design.

A single tap authenticates the item and displays its Track & Trace record.
