Multilayered sheet assembly and a method for forming a sign

Method for forming a sign from a multilayered sheet assembly, the sheet assembly comprising a carrier layer on which a sign layer is arranged on a first side via a first adhesive layer, wherein the sheet assembly further comprises a strip layer which is arranged via a second adhesive layer in adhesively separable manner on a second side of the carrier layer, the method comprising the steps of:

• A) arranging the multilayered sheet assembly on a cutting device;
• B) arranging a peripheral cut in the sheet assembly along an outer periphery of a sign, wherein the peripheral cut is arranged through the sign layer and up to, but not through, the carrier layer;
• C) arranging an inner cut in the sheet assembly along a peripheral line of at least one enclosed surface area not forming part of the sign, wherein the inner cut is arranged through the sign layer and through the carrier layer and wherein the inner cut is arranged up to, but not through, the strip layer;
• D) separating the strip layer with adhesive retention of the at least one enclosed surface area not forming part of the sign;
• and
• E) separating the sign layer from the carrier layer such that the formed sign remains on the carrier layer.
