Secure holographic foil that is a minimum of ten square millimeters and a maximum of twenty square millimeters with a proprietary original image in visible and MULTIPLE-color invisible ultraviolet inks. The visible overprint must be translucent so that the hologram image strikes through the printed image when viewed at different angles and must be cured in such a way that any tampering of the image causes visible damage to the hologram. The holographic foil design and origination artwork must be exclusively owned and controlled by the security printer. 3. Branded overprint of any hologram that PERSONALIZES the hologram with customer logo. 4. Custom COMPLEX security background DESIGNS with banknote-level security. 5. secure variable digital infill. 6. Thermochromic, tri-thermochromic, photochromic or optically variable inks. 7. Stealth numbering in ultraviolet, infrared or taggant inks. 8. Two-color rainbow print invisible ultraviolet numismatic designs with fine line security relief design that follows the primary image's design exactly and with a minimum line weight of 0.0424 millimeters. 9.
