Abstract
A decorative topper is formed of a laminate of plastic and other suitable materials by RF energy which seals a major portion of a peripheral edge. At least one portion, e.g., one or more edges, is not sealed closed in the original forming of the product. The portion that remains open provides will slide over an object to be decorated. At the opening is a release paper, preferably on both surfaces of the topper, which release paper covers a pressure sensitive adhesive. The process is especially advantageous due to its ability to cut and seal the peripheral edge except at the opening where the material is cut but not sealed.
