The purpose of the present invention is to form a coating film on the entire inner surface of a bottomed cylindrical body while increasing machining resistance of an opening part of the bottomed cylindrical body as less cost. A method according to the present invention comprises: an opening part coating step S1 for spraying an inner area of an opening part of a bottomed cylindrical body with a first coating material while placing the bottomed cylindrical body in a horizontal position and rotating the bottomed cylindrical body around an central axis thereof; a barrel part coating step S3 for spraying, after the opening part coating step S1, an inner area of a barrel part of the bottomed cylindrical body with a second coating material while keeping the horizontal position and rotation around the central axis of the bottomed cylindrical body; and a vaporizing step S4 for stopping, after the barrel part coating step S3 and before the volatile components of the second coating material sprayed onto the inner area of the barrel part of the bottomed cylindrical body vaporizes, the rotation of the bottomed cylindrical body around the central axis, replacing the bottomed cylindrical body from the horizontal position to a vertical position, and vaporizing volatile components of the second coating material. A coating material containing a hardly-sagging synthetic resin which contains higher proportion of non-volatile components is used as the first coating material, and a coating material containing an easily-sagging synthetic resin which contains lower proportion of non-volatile components than that of the first coating material is used as the second coating material.

The invention relates to a method for continuously producing a pattern at the surface of a flexible substrate, comprising a step of forming a primary pattern by means of an operation of coating said substrate with a hot melt composition that is in the molten state, characterized in that said composition is a reactive polyurethane composition that is moisture crosslinkable to form a thermosetting polyurethane and in that said method comprises, after said coating operation, a step of moisture crosslinking the composition forming the primary pattern to obtain a secondary pattern made of thermosetting polyurethane. The invention also relates to a facility relating to such a method for coating on flexible substrates.

A method for providing a textured surface finish to a substrate includes providing an image having a contrast ratio; altering the image to increase the contrast ratio; determining an engraving profile for an ink transfer tool based on the contrast ratio of the image; etching the ink transfer tool in accordance with the engraving profile; coating the ink transfer tool with an ink; transferring the ink from the ink transfer tool to a substrate; applying a top coat to the substrate while the ink is set; and curing the ink and top coat on the substrate in an oven. The etching creates a plurality of wells in the ink transfer tool for holding the ink. The engraving profile is not identical to the altered image.

Conventional atomic layer deposition technology is modified to increase its cost-effective viability for use in producing thinly coated flexible packaging film. In one embodiment a thinly coated flexible substrate, e.g., a polyolefin film, is made by a process comprising the steps of: (A) Dissolving a self-limiting precursor in a solvent to form a solution of dissolved self-limiting precursor in the solvent, (B) Applying the solution to a facial surface of a flexible polymer film so that at least a portion of the dissolved self-limiting precursor attaches to the facial surface of the film and the solution is at least partially depleted of self-limiting precursor, and (C) Curing the attached self-limiting precursor by contact with oxygen
