A shelf liner which defines a skid-resistant first major surface for contacting a shelf and a decorative second major surface, the shelf liner comprising a scrim and a foamed resin in contact with the scrim, the scrim comprising fibers, the resin being discontinuous on the scrim, such that at least a portion of the scrim fibers is visible on the second major surface, open pores extending from the first major surface to the second major surface.
A composite sheet material which defines a first exposed major surface, which is non-adhesive and skid-resistant, and a second exposed major surface, the sheet material comprising a scrim formed of natural fibers and a foamed latex resin thereon, the foamed latex resin being thicker, on average, on the second major surface than on the first major surface.
A composite sheet material having first and second major surfaces consisting essentially of a scrim formed of natural fibers and a foamed latex resin thereon, open pores extending from the first major surface to the second major surface, the foamed latex resin providing discontinuous coverage of the scrim fibers on the second major surface to provide a decorative surface.
