Zusammenfassung:	An improved tooling configuration enables production of an end panel opening score line without loss of the enamel protective coating on the reverse side of the end panel. Current scoring methods frequently result in enamel loss, and hence, necessitate coating repair before the end panel may be attached to the can body. By controlling the angular relationship of the score punch and anvil, while simultaneously confining the displaced metal, the enamel which was previously applied to the panel is retained substantially in place with only a slight reduction in thickness. Punch angles of 90 DEG - 100 DEG and anvil angles of 25 DEG - 35 DEG have been found to be effective, with a punch angle of 90 DEG and an anvil angle of 30 DEG being optimum. The metal may best be confined and controlled by the simultaneous formation of an anti-fracture score concentric with, and radially inward of the opening score line.
