Abstract
The invention provides (1) a volume hologram transfer foil comprising a substrate and protective layer, a volume hologram layer and a heat seal layer stacked on the substrate in this order, wherein a multilayer structure comprising the protective layer, the volume hologram layer and the heat seal layer in this order is releasable from the substrate, and (2) a volume hologram transfer foil wherein the above protective layer is used as a heat seal layer. The heat seal layer comprises a polyester resin having a glass transition temperature of −10° C. to −30° C. With the invention, thermo-compression adhesion of the volume hologram layer to any application member, especially a polyester resin card is improved, so that the invention provides a volume hologram transfer foil useful for prevention of illegal copying, and a volume hologram multilayer structure formed using such a transfer foil.
