Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of advertising display technology, and in particular to an acrylic stand with a three-dimensional effect. Background Technology

[0002] The printing process for existing acrylic standees has long relied on traditional technical approaches, mainly divided into two categories: one is to transfer the pattern to the PET sheet using a mirror printing method with an offset printing machine, and then use UV adhesive to bond it to the acrylic sheet to achieve the pattern on the acrylic surface; the other is to use digital UV flatbed equipment to directly perform UV printing on the surface or mirror side of the acrylic to form the final printing effect.

[0003] However, these mainstream processes have obvious limitations: from a visual perspective, the patterns printed by traditional processes are mostly flat, lacking a sense of layering and three-dimensionality, and cannot achieve special visual presentations with metallic texture or embossed effects such as hot stamping, silver stamping, and colored gold. This makes it difficult to meet the personalized and high-end demands of the animation industry for IP image display. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the defects or one of the defects in the existing technology, this utility model provides an acrylic stand with a three-dimensional effect. Therefore, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is:

[0005] An acrylic standee with a three-dimensional effect comprises, from top to bottom, a three-dimensional enhancement layer, a four-color printing ink layer, a PET sheet, a UV-cured adhesive layer, and an acrylic plate, arranged in a single-sided, front-view structure. The three-dimensional enhancement layer transfers elements from a hot stamping film to the surface of the four-color printing ink layer using digital hot or cold stamping processes. The four-color printing ink layer is a 10μm thick UV printing ink. The UV-cured adhesive layer is a transparent, colorless, slightly yellow adhesive layer with a viscosity of 1500-2500, a specific gravity of 1.06, a refractive index of 1.486, a pencil hardness of 5B, and a temperature resistance of 80 degrees Celsius. The PET sheet has a light transmittance greater than 89.5% and a haze less than 1.5%, while the acrylic plate has a light transmittance greater than 90% and a haze less than 0.6%.

[0006] Furthermore, a UV-curing adhesive layer, an acrylic sheet, a UV-curing adhesive layer, a PET sheet, a four-color printing ink layer, and a three-dimensional enhancement process layer are sequentially stacked below the acrylic sheet to form a double-sided, front-view structure.

[0007] Furthermore, a UV-cured adhesive layer and an acrylic sheet are sequentially stacked on top of the three-dimensional enhancement process layer to form a single-sided reverse-viewing structure.

[0008] Furthermore, between the UV-curing adhesive layer and the acrylic sheet below, a PET sheet, a four-color printing ink layer, a three-dimensional enhancement process layer, and a UV-curing adhesive layer are stacked sequentially from top to bottom, forming a double-sided reverse-viewing structure.

[0009] Furthermore, the UV-cured adhesive layer (4) and acrylic sheet (5) below are discarded to form a simplified single-sided reverse-viewing structure.

[0010] Furthermore, the elements on the hot stamping film include gold, silver, and iridescent hot stamping elements.

[0011] Furthermore, the PET sheet has a thickness of 0.1-0.5 mm, and its surface is treated with corona to form a polarization layer.

[0012] Furthermore, the acrylic sheet has a thickness of 1-5mm and an outer surface with a scratch-resistant coating with a hardness ≥3H.

[0013] Furthermore, the UV-curing adhesive layer contains uniformly distributed transparent microspheres with a diameter of 5-10 μm, and the content of microspheres accounts for 1%-3% of the total mass of the adhesive layer.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] Three-dimensional enhancement: The three-dimensional enhancement process layer achieves three-dimensional effects such as hot stamping and iridescent colors, breaking through the limitations of traditional flat printing, with a stronger visual impact, especially suitable for the high-end display needs of IP characters in the animation industry;

[0016] High structural stability: The corona polarization layer of the PET sheet enhances the adhesion to the ink layer and adhesive layer, the transparent microbeads of the UV shadowless adhesive layer optimize the interlayer bonding force, and the scratch-resistant coating of the acrylic sheet improves durability. Overall wear resistance and delamination resistance are significantly improved.

[0017] Excellent optical performance: Each layer of material has high light transmittance and low haze, and the superimposed layer still maintains a clear visual effect without light and shadow distortion, thus improving the clarity of the pattern display.

[0018] Wide range of applications: The four structures meet the display needs of single-sided / double-sided and forward / reverse orientations, and can be used in various scenarios such as hanging and placement, offering greater flexibility. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0025] Example 1: As Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment is a single-sided acrylic standee viewed from the front. From top to bottom, it consists of a 3D enhancement process layer 1, a four-color printing ink layer 2, a PET sheet 3, a UV-curable adhesive layer 4, and an acrylic board 5.

[0026] The 3D enhancement process layer 1 transfers hot stamping elements to the surface of the four-color printing ink layer 2 using a digital hot stamping process. The four-color printing ink layer 2 is a 10μm thick UV printing ink. The PET sheet 3 has a light transmittance of 90% and a haze of 1.2. The UV shadowless adhesive layer 4 is a transparent, colorless, slightly yellow adhesive layer with a viscosity of 2000, a specific gravity of 1.06, a refractive index of 1.486, a pencil hardness of 5B, and a temperature resistance of 80 degrees Celsius. The acrylic sheet 5 has a light transmittance of 91% and a haze of 0.5%.

[0027] The advantages of this embodiment are: the layers of the structure are stacked in an orderly manner when viewed from the front on one side, the three-dimensional enhancement process layer and the four-color printing ink layer are tightly combined, which can intuitively present a three-dimensional visual effect. The materials of each layer have good light transmittance and low haze, and the pattern is clear when displayed in one direction, which is suitable for basic display scenarios that are viewed from one direction.

[0028] Example 2: As Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment is a double-sided acrylic standee, which is viewed from the front. From top to bottom, it is stacked with the following layers in sequence: 1 layer of three-dimensional enhancement process, 2 layer of four-color printing ink, 3 layer of PET sheet, 4 layer of UV shadowless adhesive, 5 layer of acrylic sheet, 5 layer of UV shadowless adhesive, 4 layer of acrylic sheet, 3 layer of UV shadowless adhesive, 2 layer of PET sheet, 2 layer of four-color printing ink, and 1 layer of three-dimensional enhancement process.

[0029] The upper and lower 3D enhancement process layers 1 transfer the hot stamping elements to the surface of the corresponding four-color printing ink layer 2 using a digital cold foil stamping process. The four-color printing ink layer 2 is a 10μm thick UV printing ink. The PET sheet 3 has a light transmittance of 89.8% and a haze of 1.3. The UV shadowless adhesive layer 4 is a transparent, colorless, slightly yellow adhesive layer with a viscosity of 1800, a specific gravity of 1.06, a refractive index of 1.486, a pencil hardness of 5B, and a temperature resistance of 80 degrees Celsius. The acrylic sheet 5 has a light transmittance of 90.5% and a haze of 0.4%.

[0030] The advantages of this embodiment are: the double-layer acrylic sheet forms an intermediate support structure through a UV-cured adhesive layer, which enhances the overall stiffness and stability; the symmetrical three-dimensional enhancement layers ensure consistent two-way three-dimensional effect, making it suitable for high-intensity two-way display scenarios; and the interlayer connection is firm with excellent light transmittance.

[0031] Example 3: As Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment is a single-sided acrylic standee made of double-layer acrylic sheet, viewed from the opposite side. From top to bottom, it consists of acrylic sheet 5, UV-cured adhesive layer 4, 3D enhancement process layer 1, four-color printing ink layer 2, PET sheet 3, and acrylic sheet 5.

[0032] The 3D enhancement process layer 1 transfers hot stamping elements to the surface of the four-color printing ink layer 2 using a digital hot stamping process. The four-color printing ink layer 2 is a 10μm thick UV printing ink. The PET sheet 3 has a light transmittance of 90.2% and a haze of 1.1%. The UV shadowless adhesive layer 4 is a transparent, colorless, slightly yellow adhesive layer with a viscosity of 2500, a specific gravity of 1.06, a refractive index of 1.486, a pencil hardness of 5B, and a temperature resistance of 80 degrees Celsius. The acrylic sheet 5 has a light transmittance of 90.8% and a haze of 0.3%.

[0033] The advantages of this embodiment are: the single-sided reverse-viewing structure achieves a clear three-dimensional display when viewed from the reverse through reasonable layer matching; the double-layer acrylic sheet protects the internal structure; it is suitable for specific reverse-viewing scenarios and has good structural stability.

[0034] Example 4: Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment is a double-sided acrylic standee viewed from both sides. From top to bottom, it consists of an acrylic sheet 5, a UV-cured adhesive layer 4, a 3D enhancement process layer 1, a four-color printing ink layer 2, a PET sheet 3, a UV-cured adhesive layer 4, a PET sheet 3, a four-color printing ink layer 2, a 3D enhancement process layer 1, a UV-cured adhesive layer 4, and an acrylic sheet 5.

[0035] The upper and lower 3D enhancement process layers 1 transfer the hot stamping elements to the surface of the corresponding four-color printing ink layer 2 using a digital cold foil stamping process. The four-color printing ink layer 2 is a 10μm thick UV printing ink. The PET sheet 3 has a light transmittance of 89.6% and a haze of 1.1%. The UV shadowless adhesive layer 4 is a transparent, colorless, slightly yellow adhesive layer with a viscosity of 1500, a specific gravity of 1.06, a refractive index of 1.486, a pencil hardness of 5B, and a temperature resistance of 80 degrees Celsius. The acrylic sheet 5 has a light transmittance of 92% and a haze of 0.6%.

[0036] The advantages of this embodiment are: the double-sided reverse-viewing structure achieves a three-dimensional display in both directions, and maintains good light transmission and structural stability even after multiple layers are stacked, adapting to complex scenes of multi-angle viewing and fully presenting the three-dimensional effect of the standee.

[0037] Example 5: Figure 5 As shown, this embodiment is a single-sided acrylic standee made of a single-layer acrylic sheet, viewed from the opposite side. From top to bottom, it consists of an acrylic sheet 5, a UV-cured adhesive layer 4, a 3D enhancement process layer 1, a four-color printing ink layer 2, and a PET sheet 3.

[0038] The 3D enhancement process layer 1 transfers hot stamping elements (using gold hot stamping film) to the surface of the four-color printing ink layer 2 using a digital hot stamping process. The four-color printing ink layer 2 is a 10μm thick UV printing ink, employing matte UV ink to enhance color contrast when viewed from the reverse side. The PET sheet 3 has a light transmittance of 89.7% and a haze of 1.0, and its surface is corona-treated before being tightly bonded to the four-color printing ink layer 2. The UV-cured adhesive layer 4 is a transparent, colorless, slightly yellow adhesive layer with a viscosity of 2200, a specific gravity of 1.06, a refractive index of 1.486, a pencil hardness of 5B, and a temperature resistance of 80 degrees Celsius. It also contains uniformly distributed transparent microspheres with a diameter of 8μm (accounting for 2% of the total mass of the adhesive layer). The acrylic sheet 5 has a light transmittance of 91% and a haze of 0.4%, and its outer surface is coated with a scratch-resistant coating with a hardness of 3H.

[0039] The advantages of this embodiment are as follows: compared with the conventional single-sided reverse-viewing structure, it reduces the bottom acrylic sheet, achieving a lightweight design while retaining the three-dimensional effect when viewed from the reverse side. The overall weight is reduced by about 15%, and the material cost is reduced by 8%-10%. The simplified structure still maintains stable interlayer bonding. The transparent microbeads in the UV-cured adhesive layer can help improve the uniformity of light refraction, ensuring that the three-dimensional effect of the pattern is not significantly reduced when viewed from the reverse side. It is suitable for scenarios that are sensitive to weight and cost (such as temporary exhibitions and promotional standees). In addition, the PET sheet is used directly as the bottom layer, which can reduce the problem of image blurring caused by secondary light reflection.

[0040] In another preferred embodiment, the elements on the hot stamping film include gold, silver, and iridescent hot stamping elements. This allows the 3D enhancement process layer to present a richer and more diverse visual effect. The luxury of gold, the elegance of silver, and the dynamic gradient of iridescent colors, combined with the pattern of the four-color printing ink layer, can significantly enhance the visual impact and uniqueness of the acrylic standee, better meeting the diverse needs for display styles in different scenarios.

[0041] In another preferred embodiment, the PET sheet 3 has a thickness of 0.1-0.5 mm, and its surface is treated with corona to form a polarized layer. The thickness range of 0.1-0.5 mm ensures that the PET sheet has good flexibility while being resistant to deformation, while the polarized layer formed by corona treatment effectively enhances its adhesion to the four-color printing ink layer, reduces ink peeling, and improves the bonding tightness with the UV adhesive layer, reducing the probability of air bubbles appearing between layers, thereby improving the overall stability of the standee structure.

[0042] In another preferred embodiment, the acrylic sheet 5 has a thickness of 1-5mm, and its outer surface is provided with a scratch-resistant coating with a hardness ≥3H. The thickness range of 1-5mm allows the acrylic sheet to provide sufficient support strength without being too heavy and affecting the display effect, while the scratch-resistant coating can significantly enhance the wear resistance and scratch resistance of the acrylic sheet surface, reduce scratches caused by friction and collision during daily use, extend the service life of the stand, and maintain its clear display state for a long time.

[0043] In another preferred embodiment, the UV-curing adhesive layer 4 contains uniformly distributed transparent microspheres with a diameter of 5-10 μm, and the microsphere content accounts for 1%-3% of the total mass of the adhesive layer. The presence of transparent microspheres helps the adhesive layer maintain a uniform thickness during the curing process, reducing differences in light refraction caused by uneven adhesive layer thickness. At the same time, the refractive index of the microspheres is similar to that of the adhesive layer material, so it will not have a negative impact on the overall light transmittance, ensuring that the stand can still maintain a clear visual effect after multiple layers are stacked, thus improving the consistency and aesthetics of the display.

[0044] Although the present invention has been described in detail above with general descriptions and specific embodiments, some modifications or improvements can be made to it, which will be obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, all such modifications or improvements made without departing from the spirit of the present invention fall within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
