ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a process for the production of a flexible laminate. The process comprises applying in a surface of a flexible substrate a curable composition in fluid form and comprising a plastics material as a pattern which can provide a desired image or imaging effect. Then, a metal foil bearing a holographic image and having a layer of plastics size is positioned with the size layer overlying the pattern while the composition remains fluid. Next there is applied to the combination sufficient heat and pressure at a level and for a time to adhere the foil to the substrate via the plastics material but insufficient to destroy the holographic effect. Thereafter excess foil not adhered to the substrate is removed to expose the desired image or imaging effect. The result is a flexible laminate having a flexible holographic image which can be machine washable.
