Abstract

The method is provided for producing a can, including a jacket-shaped can body, which has at least one opening that is tightly closed by a peelable sealing membrane. The sealing membrane is provided with a pull tab, which is folded over and detachably connected to an upper side of the sealing membrane. The pull tab is detachably fastened to the upper side of the sealing membrane by way of an adhesive. The adhesive is printed onto the upper side of the sealing membrane and/or onto the pull tab. The adhesive is preferably a paint and in particular a sealing wax.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 - 15 . (canceled) 
     
     
         16 . A method for producing a can comprising a jacket-shaped can body which has at least one opening that is tightly closed by a peelable sealing membrane and which is provided with a pull tab which is folded over and detachably connected to an upper side of the sealing membrane, wherein an adhesive is applied to the upper side of the sealing membrane and/or to the pull tab by means of a printing process, and in that the pull tab is detachably connected to the upper side of the sealing membrane by this adhesive. 
     
     
         17 . The method as claimed in  claim 16 , wherein the adhesive is a varnish and in particular a sealing wax. 
     
     
         18 . The method as claimed in  claim 16 , wherein the adhesive is printed on by gravure printing, flexo printing, digital printing, screen printing or offset printing. 
     
     
         19 . The method as claimed in  claim 16 , wherein the pull tab, after being folded over, is connected to the upper side of the sealing membrane by welding. 
     
     
         20 . The method as claimed in  claim 16 , wherein the can is sterilized with the sealing membrane fitted. 
     
     
         21 . The method as claimed in  claim 16 , wherein the sealing membrane is produced from a composite film having a plurality of layers. 
     
     
         22 . The method as claimed in  claim 21 , wherein the composite film has at least one layer of plastic. 
     
     
         23 . A can produced by the method as claimed in  claim 16 , wherein the adhesive is printed on. 
     
     
         24 . The can as claimed in  claim 23 , wherein the sealing membrane is produced from a composite film. 
     
     
         25 . The can as claimed in  claim 23 , wherein the sealing membrane is peelably connected to a retaining ring. 
     
     
         26 . The can as claimed in  claim 23 , wherein the sealing membrane has a high restoring force. 
     
     
         27 . The can as claimed in  claim 23 , wherein the adhesive withstands sterilization. 
     
     
         28 . The can as claimed in  claim 23 , wherein the sealing membrane comprises an upper layer, and in that the adhesive is arranged on the upper side of this upper layer separately from a further print. 
     
     
         29 . The can as claimed in  claim 28 , wherein the further print is arranged on the underside of the upper layer. 
     
     
         30 . The can as claimed in  claim 23 , wherein the adhesive is printed onto the upper side of a print.
