    CHENHUI Specialty Holographic Patterns

    The coloured-ground diffraction programme — red, green and blue grounds carrying the same pattern vocabulary as the gold and silver chart. The colour is in the film, so a green kaleidoscope stays green as it moves rather than cycling the whole spectrum. Same rules apply: solid shapes and heavy type, never hairlines.

    These films carry a pattern, not a colour, so there is nothing here to approximate with a swatch — what you see is a photograph of the vendor's own stamped card. How the pattern reads depends on the light it is under and the size you stamp it at, which is why we stamp a sample on your stock before the run.

    Stamped on CHENHUI’s own test card

    Each card runs the same fine-line rules and halftone ramp, so you can see how the foil behaves at small sizes — not just what colour it is.
