A method for decoration of paper or plastic sheeting and other substrates, involving a novel technique for coating and embossing the substrate. The paper or plastic sheeting is supplied with a coating of thermosensitive material, as by extrusion. The coated sheet is heated to adequately soften the coating, such as by use of a heated cylinder, and remote heat sources such as infrared heaters. The softened sheet surface is then decorated using an embossing member, to provide a diffraction pattern or hologram. Use of an embossment pattern of lesser depth than the surface roughness of the sheet before embossing provides attractive decorative patterns.

A decorative substrate consisting of a paper base sheet coated with a thermoplastic material, involving a novel technique for coating and embossing the substrate. The paper sheeting is supplied with a thermoplastic material, as by coating or extrusion. The coated sheet is heated to adequately soften the coating, such as by use of a heated cylinder, and remote heat sources such as infrared heaters.

A fastener to permit the capture and release by a selected medium of the wire binder on notebooks, tablets, or the like. The fastener includes a series of tabs which are profiled so that the captured medium resists removal due to ordinary stresses, but may be inserted and removed by means of an easily applied transverse force.
