A method of forming a can end, comprising the steps of: (a) forming a shell from a sheet of end material, the shell comprising a flat centre panel and a peripheral edge; and (b) applying a printing to the shell, wherein the printing is applied over a substantial area extent of the centre panel, the printing comprising an illustration of head and facial features of a character. Step (c) may be included to attach a tab to the shell, wherein the tab is attached to the shell such that the printing on the shell is aligned with the tab in a predetermined manner such that the jab forms a part of the character. The steps (a), (b), and (c) may be performed in that order. Step (b) may include introducing the sheet of end material into a press and operating on the sheet of end material in the press so as to form can end features, and may include blanking a can end from the sheet of end material. |
