Abstract: A dye impermeable, distortion resistant textile identification product comprises a first layer of woven fabric bonded to a second layer of dye impermeable, distortion resistant thermoplastic material, and a third layer of thermoplastic adhesive material bonded to the second layer. In an embroidered emblem, stitching extends through the first and second layers, and a third layer of dye impermeable thermoplastic material is bonded to the second layer overlying and bonded to the stitching. A fourth layer of thermoplastic adhesive material is bonded to the third layer. Methods for making the dye impermeable, distortion resistant textile identification products are also set forth.

Abstract: This involves a laminate having preferably a 15 mil layer of cloth such as especially a 65-35% blend of polyester and cotton, a 2.5 mil layer of non-creped paper tissue, and in between them an 8 mil layer of low density polyethylene which has penetrated into the paper just short of appearing on its face, and a corresponding amount into the cloth. It will preferably be bonded together by ten seconds bonding time at 435.degree. F under ten psi platen pressure. The laminate is especially useful as an inexpensive non-curling product for use as emblems, especially where it is intended to be put into a Merrow sewing machine for special stitching and then sewn onto the garment on which it is intended to be displayed.
