Abstract

Foil is adapted to be marked readily by having a water-soluble, water-based or other surface coating (22) applied thereto. The adapted surface (22) permits ink to mark the foil. Such foil may be used for manufacturing balloons (10) or wrapping materials. A method of manufacturing such a foil comprises the step of spraying onto the surface or otherwise adapting the surface (22) of the foil with a readily markable substance, such as a water-soluble coating, to permit printing of chosen designs (24) onto the foil. A method of imprinting a foil with a design (24) comprises the step of feeding a package (36) containing foil through a printer, the printer being arranged for printing the design (24) onto an adapted surface of the foil exposed by the package (36).

Claims (6)

1. A package comprising a balloon comprising plastic foil, at least part of the surface of which is adapted to be marked readily such that a design may be imprinted thereon, and a packet containing the balloon, and arranged such that the balloon may be fed, prior to inflation, within the packet, through an ink jet printer for printing a said design thereon on the adapted part of the surface of the foil.
2. A package according to claim 1, wherein the packet is formed with a tear-off strip covering the adapted surface of the foil.
3. A package as claimed in claim 1 and having an aperture formed in a face thereof for exposing the adapted surface of the foil.
4. A printing kit comprising a package according to any one of claims 1 to 3, a printer and a computer-drawing software package.
5. A printing kit in the form of a combination of a package comprising a balloon comprising plastic foil, at least part of the surface of which may be adapted to be marked readily such that a design may be imprinted thereon, a packet containing the balloon, and arranged such that the balloon may be fed, prior to inflation, within the packet, through an ink jet printer for printing a said design thereon on the adapted part of the surface of the foil, and means for so adapting the external surface of the foil to be marked.
6. A printing kit according to claim 5, wherein the adapting means comprises a spray can.
