Abstract:
A method of manufacturing an item of printed indicia, the method comprising:providing an elastic substrate which is stretchable between a relaxed state and an extended state, the elastic substrate having exposed surface; stretching the elastic substrate to the extended state; placing the stretched substrate onto a form to maintain the substrate in the extended state; printing a first subject matter upon the exposed surface of the elastic substrate while the substrate is in the extended state, the first subject matter being discernable to an observer when the substrate is in the extended state and being undiscernable when the substrate is returned to the relaxed state; and printing a second subject matter on the exposed surface while the substrate is in the relaxed state, the second subject matter being discernable by an observer when the substrate is in the relaxed states as well as when the substrate is in the extended state.
