A production method of a decorative film comprises a first step of laying
a base film of a thermoplastic resin on a pattern layer of a transfer
sheet in which the pattern layer is placed on one surface of a carrier
film, thermally transferring the pattern layer onto the base film, and
thereafter stripping off the carrier film, thereby obtaining a laminate
sheet in which the pattern layer is placed on one surface of the base
film; and a second step of, in a state in which a transparent resin film
is laid on a surface of the laminate sheet on the pattern layer side,
inserting the laminate sheet and the transparent resin film into between
a pair of endless belts placed opposite each other, and conveying the
laminate sheet and the transparent resin film under heat and pressure,
thereby obtaining a decorative film in which a transparent resin layer of
the transparent resin film is placed on the surface of the laminate sheet
on the pattern layer side.
