Abstract

A shaped plastic part and a flexible film with a protected conductor track, in particular made from copper, are described, as is a process for their production. The shaped plastic part or the flexible film is composed at least of a plastic film (1) as backing layer, and of a metalizable primer layer (2) applied thereto, and of a structured, metallic electrically conducting layer (3), in particular electrical conductor tracks, applied to the primer layer (2), where an additional outer film (4) or a plastic article (6) has been firmly connected to the composite made from backing layer (1), primer layer (2) and from conducting layer (3) in such a way that the outer film (4) or the plastic article (6) covers at least part of the conducting layer (3).
