主权项

1. A textured heat transfer label, comprising:
a carrier, the carrier having a flat surface free of an embossed textured pattern; a background layer; a textured layer formed of a cross-linked polymer; and a metallized portion arranged on the carrier, wherein the textured layer is arranged on a portion of the flat surface of the carrier and the background layer is arranged on the carrier over the textured layer, wherein the background layer is configured to transfer and adhere to a substrate upon application of heat and pressure, and the textured layer is configured to remain bonded to the background layer providing a raised textured surface, wherein the background layer is configured to soften and become tacky when subjected to heat and pressure, wherein an adhesion between the background layer and the substrate is greater than an adhesion between the background layer and the carrier when subjected to heat and pressure, and wherein the background layer is arranged over the textured layer and the metallized portion, wherein the background layer is configured to transfer and adhere to a substrate upon application of heat and pressure, and the metallized portion and the textured layer are configured to remain bonded to the background layer after the heat transfer label is transferred to the substrate.
