Abstract
Shaped, flexible decorative emblems and a method for making the same are provided. The decorative emblems comprises a substrate layer having a decorative pattern thereon, a plastic lens cap, and an adhesive layer protected by a release liner. The decorative emblems are formed in the non-planar shape corresponding to the shape of the desired application surface. The method for making the non-planar decorative emblem involves casting the plastic lens cap on the substrate surface while the substrate is held substantially flat, subject the plastic to an initial cure while still flat, molding the emblem to a mandrel formed in the desired non-planar shape and subjecting the shaped emblem to a final cure to fix the emblem in the non-planar shape.
