<p>A method for improving the cutting characteristics of thermoplastic film or sheet includes the steps of forming a multi-layer structure having a first or base layer of thermoplastic, wherein the first layer has a first surface; coating at least a portion of the first surface with a second material to form a second layer, wherein a monolayer of the second material has an improved cutting characteristic relative to a monolayer of the base layer; and cutting the multi-layer structure in a manner so that second layer is penetrated by a cutting device before the first layer is penetrated by the cutting device.</p> |
