Shiny paper emerges through the lamination of paperboard with holographic or rainbow foil, resulting in a distinctive packaging material that captivates observers with its dynamic color shifts from various angles. Predominantly embraced in cosmetics and apparel packaging, holographic foils inject an element of both amusement and refinement into diverse packaging applications. To modulate the holographic impact, varying levels of ink opacity can be layered atop the material, producing a more subdued visual. Alternatively, employing translucent inks for printing introduces a luminous, gem-like quality that accentuates the holographic spectrum. When imprinting on holographic paper with opaque inks, the CMYK color model is harnessed to initially print in white, followed by the application of other opaque inks. This meticulous process ensures the preservation of color vibrancy and lucidity.
