Abstract

A method of printing on a container casing for containing recording media, such as tape-shaped or disc-shaped recording media, includes the step of forming an underlying layer by printing on the outer surface of the main casing member, forming a colored layer on the underlying layer by color printing based on the picture information, and forming a protective layer on the colored layer for protecting the colored layer. The protective layer has an opening for exposing its partial portion to the outside.
