Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for printing a cylindrical print surface of a beverage can, in particular made of tinplate or aluminum, with a print image.
  • the invention also relates to a beverage can, in particular made of tinplate or aluminum, with a cylindrical print surface with a print image.
  • a beverage can is understood here to mean a beverage can body with a base, a cylindrical jacket and an open end which is opposite the base.
  • Such beverage cans are usually put together in pallets and delivered to filling companies who fill the beverage cans with a beverage through the open end and after filling close the open end with a beverage can lid, so that a filled, closed beverage container is then present.
  • the open end of a beverage can is preferably drawn in and provided with an outwardly curved flanged edge so that a beverage can lid can be connected by flanging to the outwardly curved flanged edge of the open end of the beverage can.
  • Beverage cans are preferably made from tinplate or steel or aluminum.
  • Printing a beverage can is usually part of the overall manufacturing process for a beverage can.
  • the overall manufacturing process for a beverage can usually includes cutting out a blank and deep-drawing a cup, which is then drawn into a can body, cutting or trimming the open end, washing the beverage cans to remove excess ironing agent, and applying various coatings such as UV coatings as well as interior, exterior and floor finishes, drying - possibly multiple - drying after one or more process steps, drawing in the open end and inspection, for example to test for holes and flange cracks, and palletizing.
  • a printed image is preferably applied to the outer surface of the cylindrical casing of a beverage can, that is to say to a cylindrical printing surface, which has a graphic design that is intended to appeal to a user.
  • graphic elements with informational character for example information about ingredients, deposit marks, shelf life or production dates, identification numbers or the like, can be arranged in the print image.
  • Such a print image is usually applied to the cylindrical print surface of a beverage can by a printing process. It is known, for example, to print beverage cans using the letterpress process. It is also, for example, from the WO 2004/109581 A2 known to digitally print beverage cans. From the EP 2 100 733 B1 a printing machine for printing hollow bodies is known, in which several printing machines are provided which can print on the hollow bodies with different printing processes.
  • this object is achieved by a method for printing a cylindrical printing surface of a beverage can, as defined in claim 1.
  • beverage cans are printed in two different printing processes on two different printing machines, the two printing machines using different printing processes.
  • the print image to be generated is divided into at least two sections, one section of which is printed with a printing machine and the other section is printed with the other printing machine.
  • One (first) printing machine carries out a printing process with which larger print runs can be produced economically in high quality, while the other (second) printing process allows the print image to be changed quickly with relatively little effort.
  • the cylindrical print surface of the beverage can, on which the print image is applied corresponds to a rectangle in the development, as it arises when the outer surface of the beverage can is developed.
  • the areas of the first and second cutouts together produce the area of this rectangle of the developed cylindrical printing surface.
  • the first and second cutouts are arranged in such a way that a corresponding rectangular outer circumference is created.
  • the two sections of the printing surface together preferably result in the entire print image, that is to say supplement the two sections of the printing surface preferably each other.
  • the first and second cutouts are preferably arranged adjacent to one another, wherein they can optionally overlap slightly. It is therefore preferred that the second cutout has a recess which corresponds in shape and size to the first cutout, so that after the two printing processes a print image is created which fills the area of the cylindrical print surface.
  • the two cutouts adjoin one another without any spacing in order to generate a common print image without unprinted areas between the two cutouts.
  • one of the two cutouts can extend into an adjacent area of the other cutout.
  • the printed images of both cutouts extend into an adjacent area of the other cutout at their adjoining edges.
  • a beverage can to be printed is fed to two different printing machines one after the other and is subjected to a printing process there in each case.
  • the first printing method is different from the second printing method, that is, the two printing methods used in the two printing machines differ from one another.
  • the beverage can printed by means of the first printing process in the first printing machine is aligned before printing by means of the second printing process in such a way that the first and second sections of the printing surface are printed in this way after the second printing process are that a desired overall print image is created.
  • the beverage can is positioned exactly before or during the second printing process, so that the second cutout is printed in the second printing process in such a way that the print in the second cutout matches the print in the first cutout with high accuracy.
  • the print image generated with the first printing press and the print image generated with the second printing press should be precisely aligned relative to one another.
  • the second printing machine is configured in such a way that it automatically recognizes image features of the print image generated by the first printing machine and carries out or causes a relative positioning to the can (e.g. by aligning the can) so that the result is the exact alignment of the both print images or the two sections of the overall print image is guaranteed.
  • the method according to the invention has the advantage that the printed image can be divided into different sections of the printing surface, which can then be printed with different printing methods. In this way, an entire, preferably coherent, print image is created, which, however, can be produced with different printing processes. In this way, the appropriate printing processes can be used for different parts of the print image that may have to meet different requirements, for example with regard to coloring or resolution. It is also possible to temporarily store the beverage cans between the first and second printing process, for example in order to cost-effectively produce large numbers of the first cutouts printed with the first printing process and later to print smaller numbers with the second printing process, so that, for example, different series, editions, issues or collectibles can be created.
  • the print image of the different (small) series preferably only differs in the second section, so that the first printing process can be carried out inexpensively with a large number of items.
  • Another advantage is that the separation of the two printing processes also enables the beverage cans to be transported between the first and second printing processes, for example even over a greater distance if the two printing machines are, for example, at different locations or at one location in different lines are arranged.
  • a greater time offset between the first and second printing process is also possible, so that, for example, the first cut-outs can be printed in the first printing process and it is only after a time that it has to be decided how exactly the print image will be completed with the printing of the second cut-out in the second printing process should. This is particularly advantageous if a reaction to certain events is to be carried out in the short term with an adaptation of the print image.
  • the individualized print image has (image) elements that are preferably read out via a mobile phone or another mobile device and, if necessary, further processed there or used for forwarding to other information offers, for example by linking to the Internet.
  • (image) elements are preferred which allow recognition by means of so-called "augmented reality" technologies.
  • the individualized print image can preferably have a code, for example a barcode or a QR code, which is also preferably read out via a mobile phone or another mobile device and optionally further processed there or used for forwarding to other information offers, for example by linking to the Internet can be.
  • This customization option has the advantage that individual (additional) information can be provided for each beverage can or group of beverage cans, which goes beyond the pure visual perception of the overall print image by the consumer and enables the inclusion of further media and means of communication.
  • small and very small series up to individual beverage cans can be designed to be distinguishable for the consumer and preferably linked to different additional information that may build on one another or / or are related to one another.
  • a first printing process for printing a first section of the printing surface in a first printing process and a second printing process for printing a second section of the printing surface using a second printing process are provided.
  • a third or further section of the printing surface can be printed in a third or further printing process in a third or further printing machine with a third or further printing method.
  • the design details and advantages described here for two cutouts also apply accordingly to three or more cutouts and printing machines with corresponding printing processes.
  • the use of the high pressure method has the advantage that this method is cost-effective in large quantities can be printed and at the same time a great variety of colors can be realized. For example, there are many colors or color combinations and shades specified by the customer that cannot be realized with other printing processes than letterpress printing, or only with difficulty or at high cost.
  • the second printing method is a digital printing method, the second printing method preferably being able to process beverage cans with different diameters, preferably between 40 and 90 mm, and / or with different heights, preferably between 40 and 250 mm.
  • the digital printing process has the advantage of a particularly high resolution, for example 600 dpi. This means that realistic, high-resolution images can be applied to beverage cans. Furthermore, the digital printing process is suitable for printing different small series on demand at short notice without long set-up times. It is particularly preferred that all common beverage can diameters, preferably between 40 and 90 mm, and beverage can heights, preferably between 40 and 250 mm, can be processed in the digital printing process.
  • print images can be generated that combine, on the one hand, customer-specific color designs with, on the other hand, high-resolution image elements that may be adapted at short notice due to current events can.
  • This deposit mark is preferably printed using the letterpress process, so that in the case of print images that are otherwise intended for digital printing, the part of the deposit mark can be printed using the letterpress process.
  • a printed image applied to the second section of the printing surface is aligned relative to a printed image applied to the first section of the printing surface, preferably with an accuracy of ⁇ 50 micrometers ( ⁇ m). This is preferred in order to obtain an overall print image resulting from the print images applied to the first and second sections of the print surface, which has no or only a very slight offset at the adjacent edges of the print images.
  • the first printing method is used to print a registration mark, which is detected by a sensor in the second printing machine, and the first print image is registered relative to the second print image. This is preferably done by registering a receiving mandrel on which a beverage can is held in a printing machine.
  • the first cutout is rectangular and the second cutout is rectangular, square, circular or oval, the first cutout having a recess which essentially corresponds to the first cutout.

  • the second cutout can be arranged within the first cutout, so that the first cutout forms a frame or edge around the outer circumference of the second cutout.
  • the outer circumference of the print image is formed by the first cutout.
  • the second cutout can also be arranged at an edge or a corner of the first cutout, so that the outer circumference of the print image is formed partly by the first and partly by the second cutout.

  • the first cutout is arranged in a corner of the second cutout, on an edge of the second cutout or in a central area of the second cutout.
  • the choice of the design of the first and second cutouts depends on the requirements of the printed images to be applied in the cutouts.
  • the first and second sections of the printing surface can be essentially the same size.
