Abstract: A textured pattern including raised lines, bumps, etc. is formed of ink on a front surface of a base sheet. A layer of reflective monochrome or holographic roll leafing is formed over the textured pattern such that the surface of the leafing follows that of the pattern to simulate embossing. An ink image is formed over the front surface of the sheet in an area not occupied by the roll leafing, and an additional ink image can be formed over at least part of the roll leafing. A protective transparent layer is formed over the leafing and ink image. The base sheet can be transparent, and a reflective layer can be formed on a rear surface of the sheet to reflect light back through the sheet and transparent portions of the ink image. Alternatively, the base sheet can be opaque, and an additional ink image can be formed on the rear surface of the sheet.

Abstract: A reflective layer is formed on a front surface of a cardboard or other base sheet. An at least partially transparent printed image is formed on the reflective layer. A first textured pattern which provides the illusion of depth is formed on at least part of the printed image, and a protective transparent layer is formed over the textured pattern and image. A second textured pattern which provides a tactile texture feeling is formed on at least part of the transparent layer. The textured patterns can be formed as thick ink layers, or alternatively by embossing to provide convex or concave shapes. An additional image and protective transparent layer can be formed on a back surface of the base sheet.

Abstract: An article, and method for making the same, including a film of reflective material, a textured pattern associated with the one surface of the film such that the film substantially conforms to the textured pattern, and an ink design forming an image associated with the other surface of the film.
