A holographic product labeling method includes defining a holographic image having content adapted to convey information relating to a product. In another aspect, the method includes providing a substrate encoded with a hologram adapted to render the holographic image. In yet another aspect, the method includes labeling the product with the substrate. Various implementations include use of true and/or multiplex holograms. Use of a transparent holographic substrate and an under label is further explored, as are uses of increased display capability provided to a given region of the holographic label according to the present invention.
