Toppan Printing of Japan has successfully developed a spanking new nanotext printing technology that enables one to insert text on a microscopic level into [holographic images](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/switzerland-passport). This new layer of security will definitely go a long way against those involved in the [counterfeiting industry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/antifraud-solution), especially gift certificates, [credit cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/golden-tag), and luxury brand goods. This new technology enables one to print over 20 holographic characters within a space that measures approximately 80 microns - the equivalent of the width of a human hair. A full market release is expected to follow this autumn once mass production issues are ironed out. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.4/10 - Popularity: 15% | Activity: 19% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [World](https://www.trendhunter.com/world) > [World News](https://www.trendhunter.com/worldnews) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Microscopic Text:** Incorporating text on a microscopic level into holographic images offers a new level of anti-counterfeiting security. - **Nanotext Printing:** The development of nanotext printing technology provides a powerful tool against counterfeiters in various industries. - **Holographic Security:** The use of holographic technology combined with nanotext printing creates advanced security measures to combat counterfeiting. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Security Printing:** The security printing industry can leverage nanotext technology to enhance the authenticity of various documents and products. - **Financial Services:** The financial services industry, including gift certificates and credit cards, can adopt nanotext printing to deter counterfeiting attempts. - **Luxury Goods:** The luxury goods industry can utilize nanotext printing to protect their brand integrity and combat the circulation of fake products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Nanotechnology-Enhanced Watch Protectors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/watch-protect.md) - [Paper-Based Packaging Coatings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hyperbarrier.md) - [Ultra-Precise Digital Printing Technology](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultraprecise-digital-printing.md) - [Advanced Printing Techniques](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/custom-mylar-bags.md) - [High-Resolution 3D Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nanoone-green.md) - [Edible QR Codes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/interiqr.md) - [High-Quality 2PP Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/upnano-nanopro.md) - [Blockchain-Connected NFC Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-cographix.md) - [Intricate Optical Phone Aesthetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/starry-optical-fiber-technology.md)
