Abstract
A method of and device for imprinting the upper surface of a container that has a closure at its upper surface, especially of a bottle with a head that is wrapped along with its cap all the way around with a blank, especially of foil, by applying the blank around the head while leaving part of the blank to project beyond it, wrapping the sleeve-shaped extension to one side against the upper surface of the cap, and pressing it down with a resilient pad. The disk is embossed at the upper surface, the blank of foil is pressed down with the resilient pad, forcing foil into the embossed areas, and the raised areas of the embossing are then burnished with a hard pressure-application component.

In a method of imprinting the upper surface of a bottle with a head having a cap at its upper surface, including applying a blank of foil around the head while leaving a sleeve-shaped portion of the blank to project beyond the head, wrapping the sleeve-shaped portion towards one side and against an upper surface of the cap, and pressing down the sleeve-shaped portion with a resilient pad, the improvement comprising:
- providing an embossed surface at the upper surface of the cap, pressing down the blank of foil with the resilient pad to force the foil into the embossed surface, and burnishing the raised areas of the foil on the embossed surface with a hard pressure-application component.
