Clear label for use on a dark container, and method for manufacturing the same

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for achieving extremely bright, reflective and opaque graphics on clear labels for use on dark bottles, containers, and other light absorbent backgrounds with improvements to cost, production rates and graphic design capabilities. The method includes steps of vacuum metalizing an aluminum metalized film to specified thickness; printing multiple etching resistant inks on the aluminum surface of the aluminum metalized film; and demetalizing non-inked areas of said film.
