Not a security hologram - the KINEGRAM

What is often assumed to be a passport hologram or ID hologram, is in many cases not a hologram at all - even though it also comes in the form of a security patch or stripe. More than 120 nations around the world have selected the high security KINEGRAM to provide the best protection of their most important documents against counterfeiting and fraud.

While both security holograms and the KINEGRAM are diffractive optically variable image devices (DOVIDs), unlike holograms, the KINEGRAM technology is the gold standard for protecting government-issued documents and banknotes worldwide.
KINEGRAM features are fundamentally different from passport holograms, ID holograms and hologram labels. KINEGRAM features are highly secure, not commercially available and exclusively provided to governments. They constitute an extremely high barrier against counterfeiting, and can be authenticated via multiple methods based on human and machine inspection.
Conversely, holograms - even those based on the same technologies used for passport holograms or ID card holograms - are typically deployed for commercial and decorative applications. The machinery and know-how used to produce them are commercially available and commonly used by counterfeiters.

The KINEGRAM technology is non-holographic and based on proprietary company know-how that is strictly protected. It uses vector-based, specifically engineered nanostructures.

The making of a passport hologram or ID card hologram precludes the creation of precise optical structures, resulting in the exhibition of the typical unspecific reflection of rainbow colors. In a KINEGRAM, the optical effects are highly precise and technically unlimited. The making of a KINEGRAM is so precise that its light reflections can be directed with perfect precision, resulting in the possibility to plan the visual appearance of a KINEGRAM to perfection. The unique effects and striking optical impressions are intuitive to understand and easy to use.
The design possibilities and selection of optical effects are virtually endless. KINEGRAM features are unparalleled in their visual appearance and their security.
