Abstract
An embossing foil has three-dimensional patterning which does not extend uniformly over the entire surface of the foil but only over regions thereof. The region-wise three-dimensional patterning can be produced by the surface of the backing film, which is three-dimensionally patterned throughout, being covered in a region-wise manner with a lacquer forming a smooth surface, or by a thermoplastically deformable layer being provided in the interior of a decorative lacquer layer on the embossing foil, the surface of the thermoplastically deformable layer being three-dimensionally patterned only in a region-wise manner.

An embossing foil comprising a backing film, a decorative lacquer layer releasably disposed on the backing film, and an adhesive layer on the decorative lacquer layer at the side thereof remote from the backing film, said backing film provided with a 3-dimensional pattern being covered region-wise with a lacquer layer thereby to form a region-wise transferrable 3-dimensional patterning at a surface of said backing film.
An embossing foil comprising a backing film, a decorative lacquer layer releasably disposed on the backing film, and an adhesive layer on the decorative lacquer layer at the side thereof remote from the backing film, said decorative lacquer layer including at least one transparent covering lacquer layer towards the backing film and provided with a regionwise three-dimensional patterning at its surface remote from the backing film, said regionwise three-dimensional patterning being provided by hot deformation at the surface of the transparent covering lacquer layer facing away from said backing film.
