LAMINATE FOIL ASSEMBLY FOR A PRINTED PRODUCT APPARATUS AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME

摘要

A foil assembly of a printed product includes a metallic layer and a polymer layer. The metallic layer forms conductive bodies that can be detected by a touch-sensitive device. The polymer layer is coupled with the metallic layer and includes a pigment that is reflective and/or opaque and a flexible binder material. The polymer layer absorbs changes in shape of an adhesive between the foil assembly and the printed product apparatus to prevent cracking. The foil assembly may include a tie coat layer that couples the metallic layer with the adhesive and/or another tie coat layer on the other side of the metallic layer which bonds to first side of a second metallic layer. The second side of the second metallic layer includes a tie coat that couples the complete assembly with the adhesive of the printed product apparatus.

主权项

1. A foil assembly of a printed product apparatus, the foil assembly comprising:
a metallic layer configured to be detected by a touch-sensitive computing device when the printed product apparatus is placed in contact with or near the touch-sensitive computing device in order for the touch-sensitive computing device to read information from the metallic layer; and a polymer layer coupled with the metallic layer, the polymer layer including a pigment dispersed within a binder material, the pigment being at least one of reflective or opaque and the binder material being at least partially flexible, wherein the polymer layer absorbs changes in shape of an adhesive that couples the metallic layer and the polymer layer to the printed product apparatus to prevent cracking of the metallic layer.
