METHOD FOR DECORATING A SUBSTRATE INVOLVING REPLACING A PART OF THE SUBSTRATE WITH A DECORATED PLASTIC FILM OR APPLYING THE DECORATED PLASTIC FILM ONTO THE SUBSTRATE, AND PRODUCTS THEREBY OBTAINED
The method involves forming a decoration on a plastic film (2) up to the quality level of colour photographs by using a colour copier and/or a colour printer and/or a colour photo-typesetting machine and/or a colour offset press and/or special pens for plastic and/or paintings. The method involves replacing a part of the substrate (1) with the plastic film (2), or applying the plastic film (2) onto the substrate (1). Binding is achieved by glueing (at a temperature lower than the substrate's and/or the plastic film's degradation temperature) and/or by stitching and/or with a sliding clasp fastener and/or with a false hem and/or by riveting and/or by stapling and/or by heat sealing with crystallized plastic.
