  • Method for making repositionable wall covering and intermediate for same
    Patent number: 5866220
    Abstract: Methods for making a sheet material, such as wall covering, having a decorative (front) surface and a working (back) surface, for application to a support surface are disclosed. One method includes applying a release layer over the decorative surface and printing a pattern over the release layer to cover portions of the release layer. A pressure sensitive adhesive layer is applied to the working surface. Upon rolling the sheet material into a roll, the pattern adheres to the pressure sensitive adhesive layer so that, upon unrolling, the release layer transfers to the pressure sensitive adhesive layer. Another method is disclosed which sequentially combines ink, adhesive and a decorative sheet with a release sheet. Intermediate products, namely the sheet material prior to rolling are also disclosed.
