Methods for applying high shrink wrap labels to a shaped article are disclosed. The leading edge of the label is bonded to the article. A seaming agent is applied, and the label is wrapped around the article. The seaming agent is then exposed to radiation to cure the seaming agent, and the label is then exposed to heat to cause heat-shrinking. The label is made of a film with at least one external layer that has a Hildebrand solubility parameter. The seaming agent includes a component having a Hildebrand solubility parameter that is within 2.2 MPa.sup.1/2 or within 4.4 calories.sup.1/2.Math.cm.sup.3/2 of the Hildebrand solubility parameter of the external layer of the film. The seaming agent also has a viscosity of at least 1 centipoise and less than 1000 centipoise when measured at any temperature between ambient temperature and 60 C. Articles including such affixed high shrink wrap labels are also disclosed.

The particles are dispersed into a matrix that is in between the first and the second substrate. A deposition system has a multi-material printhead, a first reservoir of a first compatible material having particles containing chemical elements similar to a first substrate, a second reservoir of a second compatible material having particles containing chemical elements similar to a second substrate, a third reservoir of an polymer precursor material, and at least one mixer. A method of bonding a joint between dissimilar substrate materials includes functionalizing a first compatible material having chemical elements similar to a first substrate, mixing the first compatible material with a polymer precursor material, functionalizing a second compatible material having chemical elements similar to a second substrate, mixing the second compatible material with a polymer precursor material, and using the deposition system to deposit the first and second compatible materials and a polymer precursor material on the joint between the first and second substrate materials.

A method for manufacturing a vehicle interior trim decorative layer. The method includes: a die cutting step during which at least two parts to be sewn are die cut from a flat film, each of the at least two parts to be sewn having an outer surface and an inner surface opposite to the outer surface; a gluing step during which an adhesion agent is applied, by means of a roller coating machine, on the inner surface of each part to be sewn, and a sewing step during which all parts to be sewn are sewn together along a sewing line by means of a sewing machine so as to form a 3D shaped decorative layer. The decorative layer can be used with a substrate to form a vehicle interior trim. The method enables manufacturing of a 3D shaped decorative layer using a roller coating machine.
