  • Patent number: 5946781
    Abstract: A multi-layer packaging foil having a hologram membrane therein, includes a bottom structure made of plastic material and a top structure made of aluminum foil with a hologram membrane sandwiched therebetween. The hologram membrane is composed of a layer of resin and a thin layer of aluminum with a serration defining a hologram formed thereon so that when the packaging foil is viewed from the bottom structure side, a 3-D image is generated by the serration. Also provided herein is a method for manufacturing the multi-layer packaging foil, including the steps of applying a resin layer on a plastic bottom structure with a thin layer of aluminum covered thereon, forming a serration defining a hologram on the aluminum and resin layers by means of a serration forming roller and adhesively attaching a top structure which comprises an aluminum foil over the serration.
