A method comprising:
- applying a textured pattern to a portion of a plastic object to provide a textured surface on the plastic object, wherein the textured pattern is applied post molding of the plastic object;
- and
- attaching to the textured surface an adhesive label, wherein the textured surface is configured to reduce a total surface area of an adhesive face of the adhesive label when the adhesive label contacts the surface of the plastic object.
A method comprising:
- positioning a plastic object on a support of a hot-stamping machine;
- heating a heating head of a hot-stamping machine to a given temperature as defined by a temperature parameter to cause a die of the hot-stamping machine to be heated to the given temperature, wherein the die is coupled to the heating head, and comprises a surface with a textured pattern;
- applying the surface with the textured pattern to the surface of the plastic object to imprint a textured surface on the plastic object;
- and
- attaching to the textured surface an adhesive label, wherein the textured surface is configured to reduce a total surface area of an adhesive face of the adhesive label when the adhesive label contacts the surface of the plastic object.
