Method for preparing indicia-containing article

摘要

A method for preparing a flexible article comprising a substrate such as cellulose casing having thereon a desired indicia such as grill marks or a corporate logo, which in turn comprises a water soluble underlayer such as caramel and a water insoluble binder-sealant layer such as shellac. The binder-sealant covered colorant indicia is substantially completely transferable from the substrate to a contiguous edible surface such as a frankfurter, in the presence of moisture.
