A method of making a sign is described which comprises taking a transfer material and a temporary support sheet, the transfer material comprising a transparent or translucent carrier sheet bearing on one side a plurality of transferable indicia, which are either sufficiently adhesive as such to enable their transfer to the support sheet or which bear a layer of adhesive on their face remote from the carrier sheet, or which are non adhesive but transferable by virtue of a coating of adhesive on the temporary support sheet, the adhesive if present being adapted to adhere the indicia to the temporary support sheet more strongly than they adhere to the carrier sheet, and wherein the material of the indicia is adhesive under the application of heat and pressure, transferring indicia from the transfer material to the temporary support sheet in the desired order to build up the desired legend for the sign, and applying the transferred indicia under heat and pressure to the surface of a transparent or translucent sheet, e.g. of acrylic plastics, to form the sign. After such transfer the indicia may be overcoated, e.g. with a contrasting color background. The legend is read through the transparent or translucent sheet which protects it against abrasion or other damage. |
