TOPPAN Digital Launches Colour Version of Illumigram™

TOPPAN Digital Inc, a subsidiary of TOPPAN Holdings Inc, has developed a new colour version of its innovative Illumigram™ hologram. Originally available only in white, the enhanced version now presents multi-colour 3D text and images that respond to strong light sources, such as a smartphone torch.

The background of Illumigram appears cloudy under sunlight or fluorescent light (left), but the word ‘GENUINE’ appears in two colours when exposed to a smartphone’s flashlight.
