well, a decal is a thin part so, add a part or copy the surface on the mating part in your new decal part and thicken, add the decal to the thickened side?

But I need to display image information on the face of the part in the assembly environment, is there any other way?

The decals I'm referring to are the appearance on the part, not the individual parts

A decal is a part,.. a film which has thickness.
