Disclosed is a sheets processing system for producing a flat laminated printed item. The system includes a sheet feeding station to feed printed sheets (12) to a laminating station, the laminating station to adhere a laminating material to the printed sheets (12), and a base item application station to apply a base item to the printed sheets (12) being laminated. The system additionally includes a platform to accommodate the sheet feeding station, the laminating station, the base item application station, and a transport roller station, all aligned in a substantially straight line. The system further includes a transport roller station to transport along the platform at least a section of the printed sheets (12) being laminated which is a part of the flat laminated printed item.

A laminate foil is disclosed for packaging materials such as food stuffs. The laminate foil comprises a transparent film interfacing with a second layer. At the interface of the transparent film and the second layer a printed pattern is provided comprising a luminescent taggant material. The transparent film protects the printed pattern from damage, and prevents contact of the printed pattern with human skin.

A decoration method of a printed matter includes: forming a printed layer on a surface of a sheet or of a mounting paper with a transparent varnish, printing a predetermined pattern on the surface of the printed layer by an ink or by a resin which are capable of being adhered to the printed layer; and pressing a metal foil onto the pattern printed by the ink or the resin with an adhesive agent. The adhesive agent does not adhere to the printed layer but adheres to the pattern. As a result, the metal foil 6 is printed only to the pattern.

Provided is a thin glass-laminated printed steel sheet comprising: a printed steel sheet including a metal sheet and a printed layer on which a design or a pattern having a high resolution of 300 dpi or higher is printed on a surface of the metal sheet; an adhesive layer formed by curing an ultraviolet curable adhesive solution on the printed steel sheet, having a thickness of 10 to 100 μm, and being transparent; and a flexible thin glass attached by the adhesive layer, wherein a reference value for color density (D.sub.max Comparison) is higher than 1.6, as measured by a spectrophotometer.

The invention relates to a multi-layered structure intended for producing a packaging article for storage purposes and to a method for producing said structure. The essence of the invention is that a multi-layered composition based on foamed recycled polyethylene terephthalate comprises a printed layer, a layer of foamed recycled polyethylene terephthalate having a density of from 100 kg/m.sup.3 to 900 kg/m.sup.3 and an intrinsic viscosity of from 0.5 dl/g to 1.0 dl/g, and also a layer of polyethylene or a polyethylene copolymer, or a polyethylene terephthalate copolymer. A method for producing a multi-layered composition consists in cleaning polyethylene terephthalate waste, then grinding same into fractions, followed by melting it and subsequently extruding the melt, then producing granulated polyethylene terephthalate, then extruding the granulated polyethylene terephthalate, foaming the melt, subsequently cooling the foamed recycled polyethylene terephthalate, calendering it to a thickness of from 200 μm to 1000 μm.

A rubber product having a printed surface includes a base and a printed surface layer on the base. The printed surface layer is printed on a plate beforehand by way of printing using inks containing a rubber material. The plate and the printed surface layer are pre-heated for the printed surface layer to be formed on the plate. The plate and a natural rubber material are simultaneously placed inside a die assembly and are heated and pressed for the natural rubber material to form a base through a sulfurization process of the natural rubber material. The printed surface layer and the base are fused during the sulfurization process to form the rubber product with the printed surface ensuring better resistance against abrasion and corrosion.

Disclosed is a packaging sheet for packaging of cheese, in particular white moulded soft cheese. The packaging sheet comprises: an inner surface and an outer surface of the packaging sheet, said inner surface being configured for facing the cheese in a packaged use position of the packaging sheet; a paper layer with a first surface and a second surface; a coloured layer provided on a first surface of the paper layer, an outer surface of the coloured layer establishing said outer surface of the packaging sheet; and a polymer layer with a water vapour transmission rate of at least 300 g/m.sup.2/24 hours at 38° C. and 90% atmospheric humidity. The polymer layer being coated on the second surface of the paper layer with a first surface of the polymer layer facing the paper layer and a second surface of the polymer layer establishing said inner surface of the packaging sheet.

A direct thermal printable construct, such as a ticket, game piece, coupon, collection piece, label, security card, or voucher includes a thermally printable medium and a metallized layer bonded directly or indirectly to the thermally printable medium. A thermosensitive imaging layer of the thermally printable medium is printable by exposing the metallized layer to localized heat of a thermal printer for inducing local changes in the color of the thermosensitive imaging layer that are obscured from view through both the metallized layer and a base substrate of the thermally printable medium. One or more areas of the metallized layer are arranged to be removable by a scratching action using a fingernail or coin for revealing the underlying local changes in the color of the thermosensitive imaging layer.

A method of producing an image recorded material is a method including an image recording of sequentially applying a pretreatment liquid containing an aggregating agent, a first ink containing a first resin, and a second ink containing a second resin onto an impermeable base material to record an image, in which in the image recording, the image is recorded under a condition in which a ratio of a total applied mass of the first resin and the second resin per unit area to an applied mass of the aggregating agent per unit area in an overlapping region formed such that a region where the pretreatment liquid is applied, a region where the first ink is applied, and a region where the second ink is applied overlap each other in plan view is generated is 16.0 or greater and 30.0 or less.

A method of fabricating a portion of magnetically controlled signal distribution device includes receiving a substrate and screen printing a low-k dielectric spacer over an upper surface of the surface from a low-k dielectric paste. The method also includes firing the substrate after the spacer has been screen printed thereon, forming an adhesive layer on top of the spacer and securing a magnet to a top of the adhesive layer.
