Crosslinked coating compositions for packaging articles such as food and beverage containers

A method of forming a coating on a food or beverage container, the method comprising:

• receiving a coating composition having an emulsion-polymerized latex copolymer dispersed in an aqueous carrier and mixed with one or both of a metal drier or crosslinking agent, wherein the emulsion-polymerized latex polymer is a reaction product of monomers comprising:
• one or more monomers containing one or more cyclic groups and one or more ethylenically-unsaturated pendant groups, at least a portion of such monomers being polycyclic monomers comprising octahydronaphthalene (meth)acrylate, norbornene (meth)acrylamide, tricyclodecenyl (meth)acrylamide, octahydronaphthalene (meth)acrylamide, tricyclodecenyl vinyl acetate, norbornene vinyl acetate, octahydronaphthalene vinyl acetate, or a mixture thereof, and
• one or more other ethylenically-unsaturated monomers;
• and
• applying the coating composition to a substrate prior to or after forming the substrate into a food or beverage container, or a portion thereof.
