Laminate
First Claim
1. A laminate comprising a first thermoplastic polymer layer with a first melt flow index, adjacent a second thermoplastic polymer layer with a second melt flow index, the first and second thermoplastic polymer layers comprising the same type of thermoplastic polymer having different melt flow index, wherein the first melt flow index at a given temperature and pressure is lower than the second melt flow index at the same temperature and pressure, wherein a surface of the first thermoplastic polymer layer is heat-bonded to a surface of the second thermoplastic polymer layer, and wherein the first thermoplastic polymer layer comprises an ink pattern on the surface heat bonded to the second thermoplastic polymer layer.
