Abstract: A method for producing a three dimensional laminated decal composite having a predetermined configuration with top edges being curved or arcuate. The method includes providing a decal support for supporting a decal, and securing a decal to the decal support to produce a laminated decal composite. A thermal die is produced with a die base and at least one cutting ridge secured to the die base. The cutting ridge in vertical cross-section is essentially shaped as an isosceles triangle with a preferred height of about 0.09 inches. The laminated decal composite is die-cut with the cutting ridge of the thermal die having a cutting temperature, a cutting pressure and a cutting dwell time to produce a three dimensional laminated decal composite having a predetermined configuration. A three dimensional laminated decal composite produced in accordance with the method.
