• applying a color layer in the printing region by controlling a printing device according to the printing pattern;
• and
• exposing the printing region in an injection mold by separating a first mold component of the injection mold from a second mold component of the injection mold, wherein the translucent base body initially remains in the second mold component, and wherein applying the color layer in the printing region occurs before the translucent base body is removed from the second mold component.
