ABSTRACT:
Various embodiments of an imprintable tape and a preferred method for forming and imprinting the tape are disclosed. Generally, the tape includes an opaque film portion formed from polytetrafluoroethylene and a layer of material of contrasting color laminated to the opaque film so that upon application of compressive force to a selected surface portion of the film, unique characteristics of the polytetrafluoroethylene in the opaque film cause it to become transparent within the selected surface portion and thereby form a contrasting indicia or design by the resulting exposure of the underlying tape or surface. Another embodiment of the tape employs an underlying surface to which the tape is applied for forming the contrasting indicia or design exposed by compressing part of the tape. Various embodiments are disclosed for forming a contrasting colored surface beneath the opaque film. In addition, the embodiments also include an adhesive layer covered by a removable or peelable backing for securing the tape to a surface. The various embodiments also preferably comprise a protective film overlying the opaque polytetrafluoroethylene film.
