Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9946134A1] An automated method of decorating a substrate comprising a plurality of articles and a suitable automated production line are described. The method includes the steps of: continuously feeding the substrate and heat release decals on a decal carrier to a laminating station; applying heat to the decal carrier so as to simultaneously release the decal from the carrier and deposit the decal on an exposed face of the substrate continuously passing through the laminating station; transferring a decal-deposited substrate to a decal-securing oven; and slowly heating the substrate to a predetermined temperature so as to remove all binding agents from the decal and to fix the decal to the substrate thereby decorating the substrate.
