Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The invention relates to a method for laminating a substrate with a decoration ( 104 ), wherein the substrate comprises a first portion ( 114 ) and a second portion ( 116 ), wherein the method simultaneously comprises membrane lamination and press lamination, wherein the press lamination is carried out in a first region ( 118 ) of the decoration ( 104 ), and the membrane lamination is carried out in a second region ( 122 ) of the decoration ( 104 ), wherein the first region ( 118 ) directly borders the second region ( 122 ), wherein the first region ( 118 ) comprises the first portion fully and the second portion partially, and wherein the second region comprises the part of the second portion that is not contained in the first region ( 118 ).

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for laminating a substrate with a decoration, wherein the substrate comprises a first portion and a second portion, wherein the method simultaneously comprises membrane lamination and press lamination, wherein the press lamination is carried out in a first region of the decoration, and the membrane lamination is carried out only in a second region of the decoration, wherein the first region directly borders the second region, wherein the first region comprises the first portion fully and the second portion partially, and wherein the second region comprises the part of the second portion that is not contained in the first region. 2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the material hardness of the first portion is lower than the material hardness of the second portion. 3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first portion comprises a foamed material, and the second portion comprises an unfoamed material. 4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the press lamination is performed by means of a punch, wherein the punch is pressed onto the first region of the decoration, wherein a membrane used for the membrane lamination is arranged on a side of the punch opposite an interface between the punch and the first region of the decoration. 5. A method for laminating a substrate with a decoration, wherein the substrate comprises a first portion and a second portion, wherein the method simultaneously comprises membrane lamination and press lamination, wherein the press lamination is carried out in a first region of the decoration, and the membrane lamination is carried out in a second region of the decoration, wherein the first region directly borders the second region, wherein the first region comprises the first portion fully and the second portion partially, and wherein the second region comprises the part of the second portion that is not contained in the first region, wherein press lamination is conducted by pressing a punch onto the first region of the decoration, and wherein a membrane used for the membrane lamination is arranged on a side of the punch opposite an interface between the punch and the first region of the decoration.
