The invention relates to a method for decorating a material and a high-performance decorative film. In particular, a printed and embossed ready-to-laminate film (FIG. 4) is presented, comprising a decorative layer, an embossable layer (with photo-curable formulation and thermoplastic resin), and a pre-photopolymerized, thermally reactivatable adhesive layer. The formulation and adhesive provide the film with flexibility and stability, even with high loads of anti-abrasive fillers (e.g., aluminum oxide), drastically reducing polymer relaxation and deformation. Embossing of the film preferably occurs via cast-curing (FIG. 3), allowing faithful replication of textures and variable gloss. This film is specifically designed for offline lamination, overcoming issues of traditional adhesives and direct applications, such as blocking on thin films and texture alteration.
