3D Print and Display and Spatial Imaging have produced many millions of holograms. The process is dedicated to mass reproduction. A typical run would be several hundred thousand holograms. A typical size would be one inch square.
3D Print and Display use an embossing process to create the holograms. First the hologram is made on a light sensitive resist plate using our unique Lightgate V4 machines. This is metalised and nickel copy made by electroforming (like chrome or silver plating). This copy is stamped into acrylic as a tiled pattern to form a recombined master shim. This is metalised and a final nickel embossing plate produced. The recombined master is analogous to a printing plate which is attached to a steel embossing roller and under heat and pressure embosses a relief structure into the polyester plastic. Adhesive is applied to the back and a release paper attached. Finally the holograms are die cut to size and wound onto rolls for either machine or hand application.

the other answers are entirely right, but they neglect to mention lenticular printing, which is what all those cheap toy holograms you get in cereal boxes and the such are.
In those you get a set of images that you want to make into an animation. You then divide them into strips and rearrange those strips so it goes one from the first image then one from the next until you run out of images and start with the next one from the first image.
Having created this picture of many strips, you place a lenticular sheet over it, which is ridged in such a way that it magnifies a certain set of those strips so you only see one of the images. That way, as you move your head round it, it shows the image moving, like a flipbook

Holograms are created by using photographic film which has a fine enough grain to record the interference fringes between a reference laser beam and the reflection of the laser beam from the subject.
Cheers.

You can go here and check out when a show called "How It's Made" on Discovery Channel will show you how its done.:
http://dsc.discovery.com/tvlistings/episode.jsp?episode=22&cpi=103469&gid=0&channel=DSC
It comes on JAN 17 2007 @ 12:00 PM, you might want to mark it down if you want to watch it..its a good show, very in depth.
