New to holography or need a little help?

 
Each year, we help over a thousand teachers, students, and hobbyists make holograms for their first time. Some go on to become experts in the field, while others make holograms just for fun. No matter what your goals are, we aim to make it easy for you to get started. Below are answers to just a few questions we regularly receive.
 

We invite you to contact us with any questions as you get started. We provide free technical support, and frequently help teachers plan their holography curricula and lab sessions. We also provide quotes for holographic film plates, supplies, and custom holographic labels.

 
   
   

What materials do I need in order to make holograms?

To make holograms, you need holographic film plates, hologram chemical developer, an appropriate laser (not all lasers work), and a relatively dark and quiet place to work. Special vibration-proof tables and other equipment like mirrors and optics are actually not needed for making basic holograms.

Most first-time holographers choose to start with our Standard or Student HOLOKIT set.  In these kits, we've already picked out the most appropriate holographic film plates, developer, laser, and other essential materials you need. This way, you can get started right away.

If you already have a laser or other equipment, feel free to contact us to see if that equipment will work. Most (if not all) green diode lasers do NOT work.

     
     
     
 

How can I make my own holographic labels?

Holograms can be converted from your high-resolution digital graphics, photos, video, or a physical model. Commercial-grade holographic labels require specialized equipment (running close to USD $1 million) and significant expertise. So, your best bet is to outsource.

Please contact us for a quotation and provide a description of the kind of hologram you seek, size, quantity, and its intended application. Maximum size per label is 6"x6" (150x150mm). Our turnaround for fully-customized holographic labels is about 3-4 weeks, depending on complexity.

     
  How fast do you ship and how much does it cost?

Each year, we ship products to customers in over 50 countries. We generally ship within 1-2 business days of receiving orders (call us if you're in a rush), and can ship via standard ground service to next day air service. Our online catalog provides shipping estimates, but we also invite you contact us for a quote.
