Decorative polymeric multilayer structures are made by melt bonding thermoplastics to the two sides of an irregularly surfaced sheet, at least one side of which has printing on it, decorative and/or informative. The thermoplastic bonded to the printed side of the sheet is transparent. The resulting structure may be part of various types of labeled or otherwise marked items such as jars, bottles, jar and bottle caps, sporting goods, electronic, etc., and also is useful as decorative panels. |
