[0004] This Application claims priority from a Complete patent application filed in India having Patent Application No. 202411051723, filed on July 05, 2024, and titled “A DECORATIVE FOIL INFUSING PARTIAL METALLIZED HOLOGRAPHY

[0005] WITH PRINTING DESIGN AND A METHOD THEREOF”.

[0006] FIELD OF INVENTION

[0007] Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to the field of production of decorative foils, and more particularly, a decorative foil infusing partial metallized holography with printing design and a method thereof.

[0008] BACKGROUND

[0009] A decorative foil is a thin material, made of metallic, non-metallic, or printed materials that are used to enhance the appearance of products on a surface. Decorative foils are commonly used in packaging, interior design, visual appealing effect to various product and the like.

[0010] Existing decorative foils are limited to either being metallized or printed. As a result, achieving a combination of both effects required a double foiling process, which is both time-consuming and costly. Additionally, this approach was constrained by the types of prints that could be applied, and it frequently resulted in unsatisfactory outcomes due to issues like poor adhesion and subpar quality.

[0011] Further, the existing decorative foil lacked the capability for selective printing, which limited the ability to target specific areas of a wide variety of stamping foils. This may impact the final product's quality and overall aesthetic appeal. Hence, there is a need for a decorative foil infusing partial metallized holography with printing design and a method thereof which addresses the aforementioned issue(s).

[0012] OBJECTIVES OF THE INVENTION

[0013] The objective of the invention is to create a holographic printing foil / stamping foil / heat transfer foil / decorative foil that incorporates a plurality of functional layers within its structure. The plurality of functional include a carrier film, a release / detachment layer, a protection layer, a replication layer, a reflection layer, a masking layer, a bonding layer, multiple-colored layers, a primer layer, and an adhesive layer.

[0014] Another objective of the invention is to employ a unique mixture of materials for the plurality of functional layers.

[0015] Yet another objective of the invention is to facilitate the creation of a hologram on a decorative foil through a process involving an embossable coating and the use of a nickel shim in an embossing machine.

[0016] Yet another objective of the invention is to introduce a processing phase that involves selective removal of unprotected metalized portions of the carrier film through a casting solution by washing away parts of the metalized film not covered by the masking layer. The processing phase is conducted in a station equipped with a tank equipped with a caustic solution, alongside an unwinder station, a washing tank, a drying tunnel, and a rewinder.
