1. A process for applying a holographic image to a substrate to produce a holographic material, the process comprising the steps of:

  • providing a printing element having a polished surface;

    applying a coating capable of receiving a holographic image to the polished surface of the printing element to provide a coated surface;

    embossing the coated surface to provide an embossed coated surface;

    applying a metallic constituent or component to the embossed coated surface to provide a holographic image having a first surface and a second surface wherein the second surface of the holographic image is disposed substantially adjacent the polished surface of the printing element;

    applying a bonding material to the first surface of the holographic image;

    disposing a substrate adjacent the first surface of the holographic image containing the bonding material so as to bondingly connect the holographic image to the substrate, thereby producing a holographic material; and

    removing the holographic material from the polished surface of the printing element.
