The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing an embossed-in-register flooring material and a flooring material manufactured using the method. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method of manufacturing an embossed-in-register flooring material including a step of manufacturing an embossed-in-register PVC transparent film and a step of laminating the embossed-in-register PVC transparent film on the upper surface of a bottom layer and a flooring material manufactured using the method. The method of the present invention may achieve process simplification by including these steps.

One or more aspects of the present disclosure are directed to bladders that incorporate a multi-layer optical film that impart a structural color to the bladder. The present disclosure is also directed to articles including the bladders having a multi-layer optical film, and methods for making articles and bladders having a multi-layer optical film.

A method for manufacturing structured press elements comprises at least the following steps: the step of providing an element of metal; the step of providing a mask on a surface of the element for shielding portions of the surface; the step of treating non-shielded portions of the surface of the element; the step of removing the mask; wherein the method comprises at least a step in which the surface of the element is subjected to an ultrasonic treatment and/or that the step of providing the mask comprises at least a treatment with infrared radiation and/or that the step of chemically treating is performed with the surface directed downward.

A partially perforated assembly includes a perforated film layer, a perforated adhesive layer applied to one side of said film layer, a non-perforated overlaminate film layer on the other side of said perforated film layer, and a release liner on the side of said perforated adhesive layer remote from said perforated film layer. When the release liner is removed and the remaining layers of the assembly are applied to a substrate, the remaining layers of the assembly comprise a void network. The void network fluidly interconnects at least two discrete perforation holes in the perforated film and adhesive layers with each other and/or the ambient environment around the assembly so as to facilitate air communication among the holes and/or between the holes and the ambient environment.
