ABSTRACT:
A method of making a die and the die itself for establishing through embossing or micro-embossing a seamless pattern, preferably a holographic pattern, on a decorative medium such as a metallized film is provided. A cylindrical embossing or micro-embossing die is provided with a layer of an embossable material, preferably pure silver, a silver alloy or any other suitable embossable material. The cylindrical die is an integral member in which a pattern is recombined thereon by a step and repeat embossing or micro-embossing process as opposed an intricate lathe-type machine-turning operation, and can thus accept, carry and maintain complex patterns with the integrity required for producing a repeating holographic pattern.
