<p>A heat transferable laminate wherein an ink design image is transferred from a carrier support to a receiving article, typically a plastic bottle or container, by application of heat to the carrier. The heat transferable laminate (10) is composed of a carrier support (50), release coating (60), an ink design layer (70), and improved adhesive coating (80) thereon. The improved adhesive coating is prepared from a mix containing an adhesive component and a film-forming component blended in a miscible solvent. The solvent evaporates upon drying the coating. The adhesive component contains a blend of vinylacetate/ethylene copolymer and a styrene-based resin. The adhesive coating is equally suitable as an adhesive on heat transferable laminates for transfer to a wide variety of plastic articles including polyolefins, polystyrene, and polyvinylchloride.</p> |
