HID FARGO Card Design Guide - Manual (Page 7)

HOW-TO STEPS HOW-TO STEPS
Holographic overlaminates
can contain an off-the-shelf
holographic design, or you
can create a custom design
for even greater security
— and brand enhancement.
The starting point of
any secure ID card
design is a
300 dpi
color photograph.
From a design
perspective, the
larger and more
vivid the photo is,
the easier it is to
authenticate the
cardholder.
Holographic foils and
images, like those found
on credit cards, may
be applied to a card’s
surface or embedded
below its surface for even
more security.
Holograms can be loaded with high-tech, layered security features from
microtext and fine line (guilloche) designs to
optically variable devices
(OVDs) like animated morphing imagery.
