Abstract

A manufacturing method for a decorated object is provided. In this manufacturing method, a foil is attached to a medium to obtain the decorated object. The manufacturing method includes: a foil layer forming step of attaching the foil to an adhesive layer formed on the medium, so as to form a foil layer in a manner that the adhesive layer is partly exposed; and an ink layer forming step of applying an ink to the foil layer on which the adhesive layer is partly exposed, so as to form an ink layer in a manner that the ink contacts an exposed part of the adhesive layer.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A manufacturing method for a decorated object, the manufacturing method attaching a foil to a medium to obtain the decorated object, comprising:
a forming step of an adhesive layer of applying a tacky coating and forming the adhesive layer having tackiness after solidification;
a forming step of a foil layer of attaching the foil to the adhesive layer formed on the medium, so as to form the foil layer in a manner that the adhesive layer is partly exposed from holes or defective portions of the foil;
a forming step of an ink layer of applying an ink to the foil layer on which the adhesive layer is partly exposed from the holes or the defective portions, so as to form the ink layer in a manner that the ink in a liquid state contacts the adhesive layer partly exposed from the holes or the defective portions; and
a forming step of the ink solidification for solidifying the ink.

2. The manufacturing method for the decorated object according to claim 1 , wherein the foil layer forming step comprising:
an attaching step of attaching a foil-attached sheet to the adhesive layer, wherein the foil-attached sheet is a release sheet with one surface of a foil attached thereto; and
a detaching step of detaching the release sheet from the foil, subsequent to the attaching step.

3. The manufacturing method for the decorated object according to claim 1 , wherein the ink layer has a higher degree of hardness than the adhesive layer.

4. The manufacturing method for the decorated object according to claim 1 , further comprising:
the forming step of the adhesive layer of forming the adhesive layer on the medium in a manner that the adhesive layer has a surface with irregularities.

5. The manufacturing method for the decorated object according to claim 1 , wherein
in the forming step of the ink layer, an ink with a pencil hardness greater than or equal to 2H in a solidified state is used to form the ink layer.

6. The manufacturing method for the decorated object according to claim 1 , wherein
in the forming step of the ink layer, the ink applied to the foil layer has a coverage of 30% to 60%.

7. The manufacturing method for the decorated object according to claim 2 , wherein
the ink layer has a higher degree of hardness than the adhesive layer.

8. The manufacturing method for the decorated object according to claim 2 , further comprising:
the forming step of the adhesive layer of forming the adhesive layer on the medium in a manner that the adhesive layer has a surface with irregularities.

9. The manufacturing method for the decorated object according to claim 3 , further comprising:
the forming step of the adhesive layer of forming the adhesive layer on the medium in a manner that the adhesive layer has a surface with irregularities.

10. The manufacturing method for the decorated object according to claim 2 , wherein
in the forming step of the ink layer, an ink with a pencil hardness greater than or equal to 2H in a solidified state is used to form the ink layer.

11. The manufacturing method for the decorated object according to claim 3 , wherein
in the forming step of the ink layer, an ink with a pencil hardness greater than or equal to 2H in a solidified state is used to form the ink layer.

12. The manufacturing method for the decorated object according to claim 4 , wherein
in the forming step of the ink layer, an ink with a pencil hardness greater than or equal to 2H in a solidified state is used to form the ink layer.

13. The manufacturing method for the decorated object according to claim 2 , wherein
in the forming step of the ink layer, the ink applied to the foil layer has a coverage of 30% to 60%.

14. The manufacturing method for the decorated object according to claim 3 , wherein
in the forming step of the ink layer, the ink applied to the foil layer has a coverage of 30% to 60%.

15. The manufacturing method for the decorated object according to claim 4 , wherein
in the forming step of the ink layer, the ink applied to the foil layer has a coverage of 30% to 60%.

16. The manufacturing method for the decorated object according to claim 5 , wherein
in the forming step of the ink layer, the ink applied to the foil layer has a coverage of 30% to 60%.
