SHEET MATERIALS HAVING IMPROVED SOFTNESS AND GRAPHICS CLARITY

摘要

Disclosed herein is an article including a fibrous nonwoven layer attached to a film layer to form a laminate with an ink composition applied to a surface of the film layer which is opposite the nonwoven layer to form graphics. In use, such laminates are often positioned so that the fibrous nonwoven layer forms the visible side of the laminate with the ink composition being partially obscured by the film and nonwoven layers of the laminate. At least the surface of the film layer opposite the ink composition is treated with a softening agent which improves the visibility and clarity of the underlying graphics. Processes for forming such articles are also disclosed.
