Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9810945A1] The present invention relates to a process for making visually contrasting structures on a metallic substrate (1), characterized in that the substrate which is coated with a single coloured layer (2) is partially subjected to the energy of a laser beam in such a way that a transparent remainder (3) of the layer is maintained on the treated area; a metallic substrate which is provided with visually contrasting structures, characterized in that a single coloured layer is present on part of the substrate, while on the remaining part of the substrate in place of this layer a single transparent layer which is substantially thinner as compared to the single coloured layer is present; and containers and cans made from the said substrate.
