Publication number: 20170087924Abstract: Decals with dimensional offsets are disclosed. The decals may be part of a decal kit or may be applied to an article. The decals include an overlay having multiple dimensional spacers. When applied to an article, the decal overlay bonds to the article, securing the dimensional spacers between the overlay and the article creating dimensional offsets. The dimensional offsets are positioned on an interior surface of the article so that contact with a wearer's skin is minimized, reducing the perception of cling.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 27, 2016Publication date: March 30, 2017Inventors: Yuki Aihara, Kim D.
