Processes for producing a holographic material wherein the holographic
image is formed on a polished, substantially smooth surface of a printing element
and then transferred the holographic image to a substrate. A coating is applied
to the smooth surface of the printing element to provide a coated surface, the
coated surface is embossed or engraved to provide the holographic image, and the
holographic image is then transferred to a substrate via a bonding material, thereby
producing the holographic material. The holographic material may be used to provide
a decorative cover for an object or item, such as a floral grouping or a potted plant.
