<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve the design of a decoration made on the outer surface of a can trunk through a new visual effect. <P>SOLUTION: A thermoplastic resin film is glued on the outer surface of the trunk of a metal can via a resin adhesive. Between the resin adhesive layer and the thermoplastic resin film, pearl ink made of a resin composition containing a peal pigment and print ink made of a resin composition containing a colored pigment are printed to form a decorative layer on the can trunk. The pearl ink is made by coating a flake with silicon dioxide, which is further coated with iron oxide, or by coating the flake with titanium oxide, or by coating the flake with titanium oxide, which is further coated with iron oxide. The can trunk is subjected to either of an expand process, emboss process, bead process, or bulge process. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO</p> |
