Title: Printing of deep drawn containers with images reflected from inside of cylinder

Abstract: A method of producing a distorted artwork image printed on flat stock material which when deep drawn to the desired shape stretches the distorted artwork image to provide the desired artwork image on the finished article in which the original artwork can be an original picture or photograph on opaque material. The original artwork is formed into a closed cylinder with the artwork on the inner walls and photographed as reflected from the cylinder by a generally conically shaped mirror arranged co-axially with the cylinder so that a distorted artwork image can be produced which will extend over the whole area of the flat stock material to be subsequently deep drawn.
