Abstract
In order to depict features such as pivoting and/or the flexure of elements of an article or articles which are enclosed within a package, at least one holographic generating layer is disposed on the package to provide an enlarged highlighted view of a portion of an image which is printed on the surface of the package. In accordance with the invention, it is also possible to have two holographic image generating layers overlaid one on the other and adhered to the surface of a package. The outer layer permit the images produced by the underlying layer to be also viewed, although at different angles from the images produced by the upper or outer layer. This permits the simulation of different movements which are exhibited by the article or articles enclosed within the package.
