Method for replicating a plurality of holograms by means of a typecase principle

A method for replicating a plurality of holograms, the method comprising:

• a. providing a multiplicity of masters, each master comprising a substrate body and at least one master hologram;
• b. selecting a sequence of masters from the multiplicity of masters on the basis of the plurality of holograms to be replicated and arranging the sequence of masters on a first carrier such that upper faces of the masters are aligned in a horizontal plane;
• c. detachably laminating a light-sensitive composite web on the aligned upper faces of the masters;
• d. exposing the masters in order to replicate the master holograms in the light-sensitive composite web;
• and
• e. detaching the exposed composite web from the masters,
• wherein the masters are detachably incorporated in the first carrier such that a sequence and/or composition of the masters for replicating the plurality of holograms is variable, and wherein the masters are incorporated in the first carrier such that two or more faces of the masters are optically accessible for exposure purposes.
