The present invention concerns a new use for shrinkable plastic film, particularly shrink sleeve label film, which can be directly anchored to a frame (which may or may not already have a canvas) to form a novel shrink film canvas. The inner and/or outer surface of said film can be printed and/or painted on, preferably heat shrunk to conform to the edges of said frame, and can be further treated by methods and means known to the art, to serve as a painting on a shrink film canvas. If only the inner part of the canvas is printed or painted on, the outer surface of the shrink film can serve as a protective layer, while also providing a glossy sheen normally achieved through the application of a varnish medium. The painted or unpainted plastic film, can further be treated as necessary to further alter and/or enhance the appearance of the image it carries, and need not be limited to canvas art work, and instead be used as a singular product, such as, for example, gift wrapping material, or in combination with other products, such as in a kit.

A sticker kit configured for use in custom decorating party ware items, including tableware items, such as plates, on which food can be served. Related embodiments include a method for producing such a sticker kit and a method for producing customized party ware using such a sticker kit. In one embodiment, the sticker kit includes at least one food grade safe decorative sticker that is formatted or configured (in size and shape) to be secured over the surface of a corresponding plate, bowl, platter or other tableware item for contact with food being served thereon. A do-it-yourself (“DIY”) user can apply the stickers to stock party ware items of any color or style selected by the DIY user to create custom decorated party ware.

A fabric includes a reinforcement material and a layer disposed adjacent to the reinforcement material including a fluoropolymer and an elastomer. The fabric can be an architectural fabric included in an architectural assembly.

Articles useful as graphic films are presented. Specifically, the present disclosure is directed to an article comprising a film layer, the film layer comprising a polymer blend comprising a thermoplastic polyurethane and a polyvinyl butyral, and an adhesive layer adjacent the film layer.

The present invention provides an acrylic resin laminate film having excellent bonding properties, as well as an excellent appearance and resistance to water whitening. The present invention is a laminate film provided with a resin layer (I) comprising an acrylic resin composition (A) or a fluororesin composition (B), and a second resin layer (II) comprising a resin composition (C) that contains an acid anhydride copolymer (C-1) and acrylic rubber particles (C-2).

A method of customizing an article with graphics applied using a graphic transfer assembly is disclosed. The method includes a step of creating or selecting a customized graphic to be applied to an article. The article and the customized graphic are placed within the graphic transfer assembly. A deformable membrane may apply the customized graphic to curved portions of the article.

A method for coating a surface of a supporting element with a layer of ligneous material in order to form a motor vehicle trim element. The method includes the following consecutive steps: precutting the coating layer so as to form at least one precut area in the layer of ligneous material; positioning the layer of ligneous material relative to the supporting element by means of the precut area; and attaching the layer of ligneous material to the surface of the supporting element.
