Abstract
A method for making decorative emblems, plaques, and other decorative shapes having a clear, strong, weather-resistant, plastic coating over a decorative surface and shapes prepared by that method. The coated shapes are stamped from a substrate using a cutting die in which a pressure platform is resiliently mounted. The platform sandwiches the substrate in the area of the decorative shape against a punch such that the shape is not domed during the cutting operation and the shape obtained is essentially flat. In accordance with one working embodiment, a 2-working station die is employed wherein the shape is cut out with one stroke of the press at a first station using the aforesaid cutting die and the shape is ejected from the substrate at a second station with a subsequent stroke.
