  • Patent number: 4275116
    Abstract: The invention concerns metallized hot stamping foils for decorating three-dimensional objects. In order to achieve a decoration of the object with the hot stamping foil which is free from cracks in the applied stamping film there is proposed a foil comprising a thermoadhesive layer, a first lacquer layer, a metal layer, a second lacquer layer, a release layer and a carrier layer laminated in this order, wherein a laminate of the first lacquer layer, metal layer and second lacquer layer has a ductility represented by an elongation rate ranging from 1.5 to 4.0, the elongation rate being the ratio of length after elongation to length before elongation. The first lacquer layer may have thermoadhesive properties which allows dispensing a separate thermoadhesive layer.
