A process and apparatus for manufacturing a film that can be used to apply varnish and colour onto an object to be decorated. The process includes the steps of; (1) applying a layer of colour onto a first film, which has release properties; (2) applying a layer of varnish onto the colour layer of the first film; (3) partially curing the varnish layer; (4) transferring by release the layers of varnish and colour from the first film onto a second film having release properties, wherein the second film is more flexible than the first; and (5) further curing the transferred layer of varnish on the second film.
