A sign having raised or recessed, three-dimensional graphics (20) and a method of making the sign are disclosed. The sign is fabricated from a laminated, multilayered blank (10) having a substantially continuous face layer formed of a conformable, thermoplastic material (12); a substantially continuous middle layer (14) formed of a colored film; and a substantially continuous profile layer (16) formed of a profile film. In use, dimensional characters (20) are cut into the blank (10) through the profile (16) and middle layers (14) only. Unwanted material is weeded out from around the cut, dimensional characters (20) and the resulting blank (10) is vacuum-thermoformed to cause the uncut face layer (12) to conform to the dimensional characters (20). A background sheet of a color contrasting to the middle sheet is then laminated to the back of the blank to form the completed sign.
Enseigne comprenant un motif (20) en trois dimensions en relief ou gravé et procédé de fabrication de ladite enseigne. L'enseigne est fabriquée à partir d'une ébauche (10) stratifiée, multicouche comportant une couche de face sensiblement continue formée d'un matériau (12) thermoplastique conformable; une couche centrale (14) sensiblement continue formée d'un film coloré; et une couche (16) de profilé sensiblement continue formée d'un film profilé. En utilisation, des caractères (20) sont découpés dans l'ébauche (10) à travers les couches de profilé (16) et du milieu (14) seulement. La matière indésirable est éliminée du pourtour des caractères (20) dimensionnels découpés puis l'ébauche résultante (10) est thermoformée sous vide pour que la couche (12) de face non découpée se conforme aux caractères (20) dimensionnels. Une feuille de support d'une couleur contrastant avec la feuille du milieu et ensuite soudée à l'arrière de l'ébauche pour former l'enseigne terminée.
