(54) Process for printing words and/or graphics on a multilayer laminate for containers of pourable products


(57) The present invention relates to a process for printing graphics and/or words visible on the inner surface of a multilayer laminate container for pourable products. The process comprises the step to deposit ink on at least one layer of a multilayer laminate, which is provided with at least one layer made of metal material and/or at least one layer made of paper material, for example paperboard or card. Advantageously, the ink is directly applied to/deposited on the inner face of the layer made of metal material or the inner face of the layer made of paper material, i.e. on the side intended to face the inside of the container when ready for use. The ink or inks applied to/deposited on the metal/paper layer define words and/or graphics visible on the inner surface of the container, through a transparent protective film.
