A laminated metal sheet, the metal sheet having adhered on at least one major surface thereof a film of a non-crystalline polyester, and a process for the preparation thereof.

Metal can ends with plastics closures

A method for decorating substrate materials such as flat metal sheet or cylindrical metal containers in which a linear polyester/adhesive laminate film is applied to the substrate either prior to or simultaneously with a flexible dye transfer carrier. Thus, on heating the laminate film bonds to the substrate and dye is transferred from the carrier to the film. After cooling the carrier is removed, leaving a high gloss, finely decorated laminate film/substrate.
