3D Holographic Displays: Turning Logos into Experiences

What Makes these 3D Holographic Displays Different?

Unlike traditional promotional products that simply carry a logo, these holographic displays use laser-engraved 3D or 2D designs carved directly into glass. When illuminated by LED lights in the wooden base, the images glow with a striking holographic effect.

Key Features 

• Material: High-quality glass cube + wooden base

• Power Source: USB port with switch button

• Base Size: 6 x 6 cm

• Cube Sizes: Available in 5 x 5 cm and 4 x 4 cm (more sizes upon request)

• Lighting: LED with multiple color options

• Customization: Internal 2D/3D carvings, base logo engraving, and light color adjustments

This isn’t just a desk accessory. It’s an interactive storytelling device that brings your brand to life.

Customization Options

Customization is where the real value lies for brands. Here’s how you can tailor these displays to fit your campaign:

1. Light Color Options

• Custom Light Colors: Available for orders of 500 units or more.

• Standard Light Colors: MOQ of 200 units, with customization for internal patterns and base logo.

2. Inner Carvings (2D or 3D)

• 2D Carvings: Provide a flat image, ideal for logos, text, or simple illustrations.

  • Customization fee depends on order quantity.

• 3D Carvings: Requires a 3D model file in OBJ or DXT format (max 50MB).

  • If you only have a 2D image, ODM can create a 3D model for you.

  • Modeling fee ranges from 400 to 1,000 yuan, plus an additional customization fee of 100 yuan.

  • MOQ for 3D carved products: 50 units.

3. Base Logo Customization

• Laser-engrave your company name, logo, or campaign tagline directly onto the wooden base.

With these options, brands can create a truly bespoke promotional product that reflects both creativity and identity.

Why Marketers Should Consider 3D Holographic Displays

Did you know that a study conducted by the University of Bath, published in the Journal of Retailing, found that product holograms and video projections in stores can increase sales by up to 62% by capturing attention and creating more vivid, immersive experiences for customers. 

Research also suggests holographic displays boost memory retention by 88% compared to static ads and increase shopper engagement.  

That said, here are more reasons why marketers should add holographic displays and merchandise in marketing.

1. Premium Look and Feel

The glass-and-wood design, combined with glowing holographic visuals, exudes an executive, high-value appearance. This makes them ideal for VIP clients, partners, or campaigns where quality matters more than quantity.

2. Memorable and Shareable

Unlike ordinary pens or keychains, a glowing hologram on someone’s desk naturally sparks curiosity. It becomes a conversation starter, and with your logo or design inside, your brand is part of that conversation.

3. Create Emotional Connections

Adding personalized engravings, such as a client’s name or a unique campaign theme, makes the gift even more meaningful. Personal touches turn a promotional item into something people actually want to keep.

4. Compact but Impactful

Even though the cubes are small, their visual impact is big. They don’t clutter a desk but remain highly visible, ensuring ongoing brand exposure.

5. Versatile for Any Industry

Whether you’re in tech, hospitality, finance, or retail, holographic displays adapt easily. They work as executive gifts, event giveaways, retail collectibles, or employee recognition awards.
