Abstract

A decor is applied to a tin can by printing a pattern onto a metallic surface thereof directly and hardening the pattern on the metallic surface. The can is then immersion-coated in an electroimmersion lacquering unit to provide it with a lacquer coating. The printed pattern can be an electrically conductive lacquer in order to insure the electroimmersion coating of the printed pattern as well as the exposed metal surfaces which may surround it.
