Method and device for coating flat objects

Abstract

Abstract The invention relates to a method for coating sheet-like structures (5) with an information carrier, for example a coloured layer, by the use of an essentially rectangular plastic film (1) provided with film ink in one or more layers and having an adhesive (4) which is applied either to the film ink or to the side of the plastic film (1) provided with film ink. The adhesive (4) used for this is activated only at a specific temperature. The plastic film (1) is attached at its edge (for example, 6) to the rotationally symmetrical sheet-like structure (5), for example a can, and is unrolled onto this sheet-like structure (5). Subsequently, the plastic film (1) provided with the adhesive (4) is heated (Figure 2). <IMAGE>
