Patent ID: 7144612

Claim:
A laminate system, comprising: a thermoformable polymeric support film comprised of a material having a tensile strength greater than 0.5 pli at 300° F.; a release layer; and a polymeric substrate, wherein the polymeric substrate is translucent or opaque, wherein the release layer is disposed between the support film and the polymeric substrate; wherein the support film, polymeric substrate, and release layer are subjected to a thermoforming process; wherein the release layer is releasably adhered to the polymeric substrate during the thermoforming process, wherein the release layer is operable to be peeled away from the polymeric substrate; wherein the support film supports the polymeric substrate during the thermoforming process and wherein the polymeric substrate is comprised of a material selected from the group consisting of a thermoplastic polyolefin, ABS, and combinations thereof.
