Security document and methods of manufacturing the same

A method of manufacturing a security document, comprising:

• providing a first substrate sheet including a plurality of first-layer-forming portions;
• forming a plurality of holograms in the first substrate sheet, each of the plurality of holograms being associated with one of the first-layer-forming portions;
• together with forming the plurality of holograms, forming at least one registration mark on the first substrate sheet, the at least one registration mark being disposed outside of the plurality of first-layer-forming portions and having a fixed positional relation to the plurality of holograms;
• printing a plurality of color images in registration with the plurality of holograms using the at least one registration mark as a reference such that each color image is associated with a corresponding hologram and a plurality of image features of each color image is aligned with a plurality of hologram features of the corresponding hologram;
• separating the plurality of first-layer-forming portions from the first substrate sheet to form a plurality of separate first layer portions;
• and
• forming the security document using one of the plurality of separate first layer portions.

A method of manufacturing a security document, comprising:

• providing a first substrate sheet including a plurality of first-layer-forming portions;
• forming a plurality of holograms in the first substrate sheet, each of the plurality of holograms being associated with one of the first-layer-forming portions and including a plurality of first structures corresponding to a first wavelength and having a first depth, and a plurality of second structures corresponding to a second wavelength and having a second depth that is less than the first depth;
• applying a first UV-sensitive ink material onto the first structures to register the first UV-sensitive ink material to the first structures;
• applying a second UV-sensitive ink material onto the second structures and on top of the first UV-sensitive ink material to register the second UV-sensitive ink material to the second structures;
• separating the plurality of first-layer-forming portions from the first substrate sheet to form a plurality of separate first layer portions;
• and
• forming the security document using one of the plurality of separate first layer portions.
