Figure 3: Cross section of layers, when making a decal.
Decaling in general is a cold process, where the bottom layer has no release liner. The
removable foil (6 = release liner) is not removed during the decal process. The carrier (5)
is not always present. In that case the removable foil (6) also functions as carrier.
The top layer is a normal pressure sensitive laminate, in this case with a release liner.
Heat sensitive laminates in general have no release liners (4), so they just consist of the
laminate (2) with a heat activated adhesive layer (3).
Pressure sensitive (cold process) foils without release liner and heat sensitive foils in
general have their adhesive layer on the inside of the roll.
The release liner on foils from North American manufacturers in general is also on the
inside of the roll, whereas the release liner on rolls from European and Asian manufaturers
is in general on the outside of the roll.
