HoloMold(TM), HoloCap(TM), and HoloSeal(TM) Provide

Cutting-Edge Holographic Packaging Solutions

American Bank Note Holographics ("ABNH", OTC Bulletin Board:ABHH), a leader in the design, origination and production of holograms for security, authentication and promotion, will introduce HoloMold(TM), based on ABNH's patented process for incorporating holograms into the injection molding process, at Pack Expo, Booth no. E-8037. This latest product launch follows the mid-September introduction of HoloCap(TM) and HoloSeal(TM), two cutting-edge holographic security and branding technologies at Label Expo.

"We are delighted to offer three new holographic solutions that deliver enhanced security and design advantages to the packaging industry," stated Kenneth Traub, President and CEO of ABNH. "HoloMold is our newest offering which incorporates holography directly into plastic products through the injection molding process. HoloCap is a security holographic induction cap seal designed to protect bottles and containers. And HoloSeal is a tamper-apparent label which seals and protects a package or container."

Mr. Traub continued, "The extensive counterfeiting, tampering and diversion of branded goods, ranging from consumer and industrial products to medicines, has become an increasing problem for manufacturers and consumers worldwide."

"Manufacturers and brand owners need better ways to protect the integrity of their products and the trust of their customers. HoloMold, HoloCap and HoloSeal each address these needs in unique and innovative ways, while also providing enhanced design opportunities for packaging," noted Mr. Traub.
