A battery comprising a can and a label is provided in which the label comprises a print layer that is directly applied onto the can. Also provided is a method of preparing a battery having a label on a can, comprising directly applying a print layer onto the can. A primer layer may be applied directly under the print layer and an electrical insulation layer may be applied over the print layer. Because the print layer is directly applied, without a label substrate, the thickness of the label can be reduced, thereby allowing a corresponding increase in the battery can diameter and internal volume available for electrochemically active materials. |
