Packaging in which the weld is concealed in the print and manufacturing method

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a tubular body () for a packaging in tube form (), comprising the following steps: —) definition of the geometrical characteristics of the tubular body () to be produced; —) creation of an initial image () covering the surface of the tubular body () to be produced, said initial image () having a right lateral edge and a left lateral edge; —) creation of an intermediate image () from the initial image () by adding a lateral strip () to one of said edges of the initial image (), said lateral strip () comprising a copy of the other of said edges of the initial image (); —) printing of at least one intermediate image () on a sheet, the intermediate image () being disposed such that the lateral edges of the image are parallel to the direction of unwinding of the sheet; —) cutting of a small strip on each lateral side of the intermediate image () to form a final image (); —) shaping of the sheet as tubular body () and edge-to-edge assembly to obtain a continuity of the design between the right edge and the left edge of the image.
