The present invention provides for a method for providing a metallic appearance to a plastic article which is formed from sheet material. The method comprises printing on a surface of the sheet material, two layers of ink, a first layer in a colour which will form the base colour of the article, the first layer being printed in a pattern which includes open spaces, and a second solid layer of ink in a colour which imitates the base colour of a metal such that the colour of the second layer is visible on the finished side of the article through the spaces provided in the first layer to thereby imitate a metallic finish on the article. In a preferred embodiment, the method comprises printing on the surface of the sheet material which will form the interior of the plastic final article, a base layer of ink in a colour which will form the base colour of the article, the layer being printed on the surface of the sheet material in a pattern which includes open spaces, then over printing onto the base layer a solid layer of silver ink such that the silver is visible through the spaces provided in the base layer to thereby imitate a metallic finish on the material.
