ABSTRACT:
Laminated decorative film including a layer of dry decorative particles residing between and adhered to opposed layers of dry adhesive residing, respectively, on opposed surfaces of a layer of support material and a layer of clear plastic film; the decorative particles are dry in the sense that they are not suspended in a solution or a mixture of adhesive including solvent and the adhesive is dry in the sense that at the time the decorative particles are applied thereto no solvent is present. Thermal die cuttable laminated decorative film is provided by providing the clear plastic film and support material from thermoplastic material and by using a thermoplastic adhesive. In an alternate embodiment of the invention, a layer of dry adhesive is embossed to provide angular surfaces for receiving and orienting the dry decorative particles at angles with respect to the layer of support material whereby upon light striking the angularly oriented decorative particles the light is reflected at various angles to cause the laminated decorative film to provide an enhanced visual effect. In a further alternate embodiment of the laminated decorative film, a layer of generally transparent film having a predominant reflection color is included, e.g. predominantly BLUE/GREEN or predominantly RED/GREEN reflection color when viewed at 90.degree. against a black background, which provides the laminated decorative film with an overall golden color without the use of dyes.
