<p>A method of producing a strip, for example of metal, with an embossed finish, having a given maximum embossing depth, in which one face of the strip has applied thereto a thermoplastic adhesive layer of a thickness greater than said given depth, and to the face of the adhesive layer, a metal foil or metallized foil, the thermoplastic adhesive being heated sufficiently to soften it. The embossing formation is then applied to the foil from the face of the foil remote from the adhesive, so that the deformation is taken up completely within the thickness of the thermoplastic adhesive without affecting the strip, and thereafter the resulting product is cooled to harden the adhesive.</p> |
