Introduce uniquely striking elements to your banknotes, concert passes, product tags, ID or credit cards.

With Fathom you can:

  • Print holographic 3D features using existing equipment

  • Reduce the number of press stages by removing foils and films from the line

  • Create variably printed 3D security features on digital presses

Fathom Effects don’t look like anything else out there because they are based on patented MIT-developed light field technology. Our technology is metal-free and can accommodate custom originations for any quantity.

With software-based security features, we have the flexibility to go where others can’t. Talk to us about your sustainability and branding initiatives and we can develop something with you.

“I would highly recommend Fathom Optics to any medical device company looking to improve their product’s security. We can have custom authentication features that look different from anything else.”

Beyond holograms.

Holographic features are common enough now that unconcerned consumers can be fooled by cheap holographic foils. Fathom Effects are a striking new class of depth or motion effect with ink alone, impacting your sustainability and cost.

Better, we give you press-ready files that are tuned to only your designated printer. Our features cannot be imitated so easily, even with the original digital files.

 

Easy to implement.

We’ll work with you to create amazing, irreproducible results at scale. Our service can integrate with your existing workflow.

If you’re an authentication feature print house, we can help you produce these yourself, likely on the equipment you already own. Get in touch with us so we can show you how.
