Matica’s customised holographic patch laminate is a high-security overlay solution designed to enhance both the durability and security of plastic ID cards. Installed post-printing via Matica lamination modules (such as the Matica chromXpert® series laminates), these patches incorporate unique holographic visual security elements (VSEs) such as micro-text, kinetic effects or registered imagery tailored for an issuing organisation.
Typically manufactured in thicknesses such as 0.6 mil (≈ 0.023 mm) or 1.0 mil (≈ 0.035 mm), these patches are applied over the card surface to protect the printed image from wear, UV exposure, tampering or peeling. They are used in conjunction with laminators like the MC-L/MC-L2 or ILM series to deliver durable, professional cards in use-cases such as government ID, driver licences, campus IDs, corporate badges or financial cards.
Customised patches enable your organisation to embed unique holographic design elements (logo, text, pattern) that are exclusive to you—this greatly raises the barrier for counterfeiting or duplication. Minimum order quantity and lead times apply for custom designs.
✅ Key Features
Custom holographic design: Your own logo/graphic pattern embedded in the laminate, unique to your programme.
Patch format: Semi-transparent patch placed over the card surface (rather than full-card overlay) in thickness options 0.6 mil or 1.0 mil.
High durability: Helps cards withstand mechanical wear, UV exposure, environmental conditions and potential tampering.
Matica-certified consumable: Designed for Matica lamination modules, ensuring compatibility and maintaining warranty and reliability.
Security markings: The holographic patch itself provides a visible security feature (and possibly covert depending on design) to aid in authentication of the card.
Chip / magstripe compatibility: Certain versions allow for chip-cutouts or specified layouts to ensure compatibility with smart cards.
Large scale issuance support: Rolls support up to ~500 prints for patch versions, making them suitable for issuance workflows.
