Optaglio has introduced its first holograms created with a combination of technologies, applied separately so far. Combination of technologies should prevent counterfeiters from easy identification what measures were used for hologram creation.  It is a part of long-term Optaglio effort to keep holograms the most secure anti-counterfeit technology available.

Optaglio applies a combination of technologies to the design of its current holograms to enhance or change some visual illusions and features. In the next phase of the project, focused graphical design for combined holograms will be created. The psychological laboratory will also be included to ensure that unique hologram features correspond to user abilities to identify them. Such comprehensive protection elements should be available by the end of this year.

Optaglio was founded in 1994 by a group of scientists from Czech Academy of Science. It has always been more a research organisation than a traditional manufacturer. In 2015, all Optaglio´s research and development activities were concentrated into Optaglio Labs in Lochovice, Czech Republic.
