Abstract
The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a container body () of a tube, the methods comprising the steps of imprinting a sheet material () on one of its surfaces, bending the imprinted sheet material into the shape of the container body () of the tube with the imprinted surface on the outside, sealing adjacent edges () of the bent imprinted sheet material, and coating the bent imprinted sheet material with a transparent plastics sheathing () by extrusion, wherein the material of the plastics sheathing () and/or the ink used for imprinting are chosen such that the plastics sheathing () does not adhere to the imprint (), resulting in one or more ventilation areas () being formed between the imprinted sheet material and the plastics sheathing (). The invention furthermore relates to a container body manufactured by such a method.
