A multiple-layer article having a plastic member with a surface application material effectively bonded thereto and a method of making same

摘要

A multiple-layer article (10) having a surface application material (20) effectively bonded to an injection molded plastic member (12) is provided along with a method for making same. At least a portion of an intermediary substratum (14) is located inside a mold cavity (28) during injection of a plastic injection material where the plastic injection material (30) contacts and becomes partially absorbed into a first side (16) of the intermediary substratum (14). The plastic member and the intermediary substratum are then removed from the mold cavity, and the surface application material (20) is applied to a second side (18) of the intermediary substratum where the surface application material becomes partially absorbed into the second side of the intermediary substratum.
