Thermally-Sublimable Metallic Film Material

Abstract

A thermally-sublimable metallic film material comprises: a base layer, and an adhesive layer, a metal layer, and a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) layer disposed on the base layer. The metal layer is an inner layer of the film material and provides the film material with a metallic texture. The PET layer is an outer layer of the film material. A thermal-sublimation ink thermally sublimated to the film material bonds to the PET layer to form a thermal-sublimation pattern, the thermal-sublimation pattern exhibits a metallic texture through the metal layer.
