Abstract: A decorative laminated structure having on its surface a pattern composed of concaves and convexes which are formed by local heat shrinkages of a layer of a heat-shrinkable resin sheet employed. Such decorative laminated structure can be obtained by laying a base, a heat-shrinkable resin sheet and a picture layer containing at least a plurality of heat sensitive picture areas in a predetermined order to form a composite material, said heat sensitive picture areas being contiguous and closely adherent to said heat-shrinkable resin sheet; and irradiating the resulting composite material with a heat ray to cause said heat-shrinkable resin sheet at its portions corresponding to said heat sensitive picture areas to cave in, thus forming concaves.

Abstract: This invention provides a decorative laminated structure having on the surface a pattern composed of concaves, at least one of said concaves having an opening at its bottom portion formed by local heat shrinkage of a layer of a heat-shrinkable resin sheet employed. Such decorative laminated structure is prepared by a method comprising forming a composite layer structure including a base, a heat-shrinkable resin sheet, a picture layer containing heat insensitive picture areas and another picture layer having heat sensitive picture areas, said heat sensitive picture areas being contiguous and closely adherent to said heat-shrinkable resin sheet; and irradiating the composite layer structure with a heat ray in an amount sufficient for making an opening in the heat-shrinkable resin sheet to thereby cause the heat-shrinkable resin sheet to shrink locally and form concaves, at least one of said concaves having an opening at its bottom portion at portions corresponding to the heat sensitive picture areas.
