Summary:The subject matter is directed to decorating containers, preferably beverage containers, to create a textured surface, which may include randomly oriented and/or patterned protrusions extending outward from, for example, a can body. The textured effect may be accomplished without the use of lithography to generate randomly oriented and shaped protrusions of various sizes, or may be accomplished using lithography to apply a pattern of inks on the container to form protrusions of predefined shapes and/or sizes. Using the techniques described the decorated can bodies have an increased "textured-feel" than previous textured can bodies. The decorative effect is created using inks that in combination with a varnish antagonistic to the ink result in the generation of protrusions having lateral dimensions greater than 1 mm and/or having heights of between 40 microns and 80 microns.
