Abstract

Low cost decorative award plaques are provided which use a plastic laminate article capable of being hot stamped with desired lettering or designs. The plaque is made by a process of repeatedly imprinting with different colors and surface effects. The process includes forming and cutting the plastic on a rigid backing, especially one simulating a fine, hardwood panel.
