  • Patent number: 4517044
    Abstract: An improved decal and method of decal manufacture includes a base sheet of polyethylene (polymeric) type material with a urethane (polymeric) high solids content carrier layer in the shape of the decal printed thereon. The graphics for the decal are printed on the carrier layer and a high tack adhesive is then overprinted on the ink layers forming the completed decal. The decal is applied to a surface and the base sheet is separated from the applied decal.

  • Patent number: 4308310
    Abstract: A dry transfer decal includes a flexible carrier layer as a substrate with a high adhesion characteristic urethane layer on the substrate. Ink layers are printed on the urethane layer and a high tack adhesive is screened over the printed ink layers. The decal may be transferred from the substrate to a surface by applying a local pressure through the substrate on the decal thereby impinging the decal onto the surface. Specific formulations for the urethane layer and the various ink layers are disclosed.
