METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR JOINING A FIRST FILM WEB AND A SECOND FILM WEB.

摘要

Two film webs (1) and (2) (in each case transfer film or laminating film) with carrier film (11) and decorative ply (14), more particularly metal layer and/or colour layer (14), are to be joined to one another. Instead of using, as hitherto, a conventional adhesive tape with cold-applied adhesive, use is presently made of a hot-applied adhesive or of an adhesive curable by (UV) radiation. By means of hot embossing, for example, a carrier (63) with a PET ply (64) and an adhesive (65) can be applied, which joins two film webs (1, 2), lying edge to edge, to one another.
