Think of a holographic origination as the original recording of a song by a musician; my idea was to not charge for the design and origination but to make our money on the mass-production
is becoming of greater interest, and the Hazen Authenticator uses elements like hidden holograms and micro text as a‘ seal of authenticity.’ This was used on the 2025 Basketball Hall of Fame yearbook, for example, as well as Hazen’ s 2026 calendar, La Rosa Volcanica.”
From speaking with John, it’ s clear that Hazen’ s innovative roots and determination have guided the business through decades of success. As the business modernizes its operations, John shares his thoughts on what’ s next.“ The sky is the limit for Hazen,” he says.“ December is usually a lean month for us, but December 2025 was our most successful month in history.
“ Looking back, it would have been easy to deter from our aggressive 20-year campaign to build our holographic business model, especially when politicians and business leaders argued there wasn’ t a future for American manufacturing,” John concludes.“ However, we doubled down in the face of adversity and charged through events like 9 / 11, Covid-19, and cyber-attacks. Moving forward, our goal is robust growth and expansion of our holographic capabilities as we continue to capture eyes, hearts, and souls with our magical holographic creations.” ■
