The present invention relates to an apparatus for printing upon the wall of a container, whereby during printing the wall of the container is moved around a rotatable support which keeps the container wall pressed directly against a rotating printing surface.
For printing upon or painting containers it has hitherto been the practice to use an internal support whose circumference abuts precisely upon the inner wall of the container whereby it is possible with the aid of this rotatable support to carry out continuous printing either only upon circular beakers or only upon substantially rectangular containers of a specified size and shape.
