Abstract
A digitally receptive coating method includes the steps of applying a digitally receptive coating to a first side of a film, metalizing the first side of the film and bonding the metallized first side of the film to a substrate to produce a laminate having a digitally receptive coating.
Claims18
A method of forming a laminate construction, comprising the steps of:
- applying a print receptive coating to a first side of a film;
- applying at least one of a micro-embossable coating and a metallized layer to said print receptive coating;
- and
- bonding said film with said at least one of said micro-embossable coating and said metallized layer to a substrate to form a laminate construction.

A digitally receptive coating method, comprising the steps of:
- applying a digitally receptive coating layer to a first side of a transfer film to impart a smoothness to said digitally receptive coating layer that corresponds to a smoothness of said first side of said transfer film;
- applying at least one of a micro-embossable coating layer and a metallized layer to said digitally receptive coating layer;
- bonding said transfer film with said at least one of said micro-embossable coating layer and said metallized layer to a substrate to form a laminate construction, and in a manner such that said transfer film is removable from said laminate construction;
- and
- winding said laminate construction into a roll such that said transfer film serves as a buffer between said substrate and said digitally receptive coating layer.

A digitally receptive coating method, comprising the steps of:
- applying a digitally receptive coating layer to a first side of a polyester transfer film to impart a smoothness to said digitally receptive coating layer that corresponds to a smoothness of said first side of said polyester transfer film;
- applying at least one of a micro-embossable coating layer and a metallized layer to said digitally receptive coating layer;
- applying an adhesive to at least one of a paperboard substrate and/or said at least one of said micro-embossable coating layer and said metallized layer and bonding, via said adhesive, said polyester transfer film to said substrate to form a laminate construction;
- and
- stripping said polyester transfer film from said laminate construction to expose said digitally receptive coating layer having a smooth surface.
