Abstract
A method of applying thermal inks to beverage containers includes use of a selected printing process for transferring controlled and discreet amounts of thermal inks to pre-designated portions of a beverage container. In a preferred embodiment, thermal ink(s) are transferred to the opening tab of a metallic container. During manufacturing, the ink can be applied in registered print rows that align with a plurality of corresponding spaced rows of tabs formed in tab stock. Each of the opening tabs has a pre-selected pattern of the applied thermal ink that can be used as a temperature indicator for a beverage within the container. Applying thermal ink to the opening tabs as opposed to larger areas of the container on the sidewall results in reducing the amount of thermal ink used.
