A mixed media flock transfer with insert material comprising:
- a base sheet having a surface area coated with a release adhesive;
- patterned flock material having ends adhering to said release adhesive of said surface area in the form of a predetermined pattern;
- insert material having a predetermined pattern that produces a desired design image when combined with the design pattern of the flock material, one side of said insert material being secured to said flocked base sheet by a pressure sensitive adhesive;
- a binding adhesive applied to exposed ends of said flock and the other side of said insert material,
- whereby said design image formed by said flock and said insert is adapted to be transferred onto a product.
A method of making and applying a mixed media flock transfer with insert material on a product comprising the steps of:
- printing a release adhesive on a base sheet;
- applying flocking material into said release adhesive to form a predetermined flock design;
- cutting insert material to form a predetermined insert design;
- adhering one side of the insert material to the flocked base sheet to form a desired design pattern;
- applying a binding adhesive to the opposite side of the insert material and to free ends of said flock to form a transfer of said desired design pattern;
- transferring said flock and insert designs associated with said desired design pattern from said base sheet to form said desired design pattern on a surface of a product.
