A can body with a jacket-like closed wall and a base constructed on one end of the can wall includes an external base covering in the form of a sheet material. The base covering is fixed into position on an annular connection region of the can body. The base covering can form a basically flat imprintable region in a main region that is surrounded by the connection region. If a bar code can be applied in this imprintable region, then a restriction of the configuration possibility of the can wall disappears. The base covering can form a stand region whereby a standing can body is only in contact with the support surface if necessary via the base covering, and consequently the occurrence of corrosion problems is prevented. A retaining device that leaves the base of a held can body free and a position fixing apparatus are used for fixing the base covering into position. A decorative foil on the exterior of the can wall can be overlapped by the base covering, which serves to prevent a detachment of the decorative foil on the base.
Can body, comprising a jacket-like closed can wall extending around an axis of the can;
Method for applying a base covering in connection with the base of a can body with a can wall that extends like a jacket around the axis of the can, and a base constructed on one end of the can wall, wherein at least one layer of the can wall and the base is made of metal and a decorative layer is constructed on the exterior of the can wall in the form of at least one paint layer, comprising:
Device for applying an external base covering on a base of a can body that includes a closed can wall that extends like a jacket around an axis of the can, a base that is constructed on the one end of the can wall and a decorative layer constructed on the exterior of the can wall in the form of at least one paint layer, the device comprising:
desired contact force attainable between the base covering and the annular connection region of the can body.
