Abstract
This invention relates to a heat-sealable laminate, comprising: a facestock having an upper surface and a lower surface; a heat-activatable first adhesive layer underlying the lower surface of the facestock; and a second adhesive layer overlying the upper surface of the facestock, with the proviso that the laminate is characterized by the absence of either an adhesion promoting layer or an abrasion-resistant transparent coating layer positioned between the upper surface of the facestock and the second adhesive layer. These heat-sealable laminates may be used in providing pictorial and/or print designs or messages (e.g., labels, decals, etc.) that can be adhered to substrates (e.g., metal, plastic, leather, paper or textile substrates) such as automotive interior surfaces, hard plastic component parts, consumer durable goods, and the like.
