Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9809790A1] A method of manufacturing a flatware article, such as a dish or cup that is decorated with a multi-colour design embedded in a food contacting surface of the article. The flatware article can be used in a microwave oven without causing deterioration of the multi-colour design, such as fading, bubbling or emission of harmful toxic fumes. The method comprises injecting molten polycarbonate material into a mould where is positioned a transparent film imprinted with the design. The film bonds with the polycarbonate material to form a laminated structure. The ink impression is applied on a surface of the film that bonds with the polycarbonate so the ink is embedded in the laminated structure and it is thus protected from scratches and contact by foods. The invention also extends to a novel flatware article.
