<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To easily and reliably form indicia having metallic luster on the surface of a golf ball without using a transfer film that is complicated and troublesome to produce. <P>SOLUTION: The present invention provides a method for preparing a golf ball with surface indicia such as a letter or image having metallic luster. The method includes the steps of forming an adhesive indicia made of a thermoplastic resin on a surface of a golf ball, bonding the metal thin-film on a metal thin film-bearing film over the indicia under pressure or heat and pressure, then peeling off the film so as to leave a portion of the metal thin-film having the same shape as the indicia adhering to and laminated with the indicia. The invention also provides a golf ball bearing on a surface thereof an indicia having metallic luster which is prepared according to the foregoing method by forming an adhesive indicia made of a thermoplastic resin on a golf ball surface, then having a metal thin-film in the same shape as the indicia adhere to and laminate with the indicia. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT</p> |
