  • Patent number: 5939177
    Abstract: A holographic image that has been transferred from a conventional polymeric support to a wrapping paper element is described in this invention. A host of images may be envisioned and since this image, on a wrapping paper element, may then be wound up in a roll, it can be used as a wrapping element for a host of applications such as in wrapping of gifts and in papers used for advertising and the like. This element and process permits the wide spread use of such holographic images, such use not being available until now.

  • Patent number: 5922455
    Abstract: A novel wrapping element comprising at least two layers in intimate contact is described. This element has a sealing layer which is applied to the element to be wrapped and a forming layer which is holographically enhanced on the outside. The holographic enhancement adds interest and beauty to the element to be wrapped which may include flower and floral arrangements, flower pots, and gifts, among others. Since the sealing layer will hold in any moisture or other material which may leak therefrom and since the forming layer permits the forming of the wrapping element about the element to be wrapped, there is great utility within this use.

  • Patent number: 5902436
    Abstract: A holographic image that has been transferred from a conventional polymeric support to an aluminum stock element is described in this invention. A host of images may be envisioned and since this image, on a aluminum stock element, may then be wound up in a roll, it can be used in the manufacture of cans, containers and the like. The aluminum stock element containing the holographic image may also be used in sheets for advertisements and the like. This element and process permits the wide spread use of such holographic images, such use not being available until now.

  • Patent number: 5900095
    Abstract: An improved process for the transfer of a holographic image from a conventional polymeric support to a tissue paper substrate at reduced temperatures is described in this invention. A host of images may be envisioned and since this image, on tissue paper substrate, may then be wound up in a roll, it can be used within the paper industry for a host of processes such as in the wrapping of candies, gums, gifts and the like. This element and process permits the wide spread use of such holographic images, such use not being available until now. The holographic image is improved over that transferred at a somewhat higher temperature range.
