Method for manufacturing a jacket wall for a laundry drum, in particular a laundry drum for a household appliance for the care of items of laundry, having the following steps: - providing a metallic plate; - shaping the metallic plate to form a hollow cylinder so that a basic shape of the jacket wall of the laundry drum and thus a basic geometry of the jacket wall of the laundry drum is formed; wherein the further steps follow only after this generation of the hollow cylinder; - generating at least one cohesive embossing structure (13, 14) in the jacket wall, wherein to this end a plurality of embossing elements are generated in a close-mesh manner with respect to one another, - positionally defined generation of drainage holes on the embossing elements, - sequentially cutting several drainage holes in the hollow cylinder of the jacket wall, wherein the drainage holes are generated simultaneously in their individual segments, characterised in that - at least a few embossing elements are generated directly adjoining one another so that a boundary contour (15b, 15c) of an embossing element is simultaneously a boundary contour (15b, 15c) of the other embossing element in regions, wherein at least one drainage hole is generated at the boundary contour (15b, 15c), - the boundary contours (15b, 15c) are generated so as to end in a shared free outer edge, wherein the drainage hole is generated in particular fully in the outer edge, and - the drainage holes are cut from the inside out. - providing a metallic plate; - shaping the metallic plate to form a hollow cylinder so that a basic shape of the jacket wall of the laundry drum and thus a basic geometry of the jacket wall of the laundry drum is formed; wherein the further steps follow only after this generation of the hollow cylinder; - generating at least one cohesive embossing structure (13, 14) in the jacket wall, wherein to this end a plurality of embossing elements are generated in a close-mesh manner with respect to one another, - positionally defined generation of drainage holes on the embossing elements, - sequentially cutting several drainage holes in the hollow cylinder of the jacket wall, wherein the drainage holes are generated simultaneously in their individual segments, - generating at least one cohesive embossing structure (13, 14) in the jacket wall, wherein to this end a plurality of embossing elements are generated in a close-mesh manner with respect to one another, - positionally defined generation of drainage holes on the embossing elements, - sequentially cutting several drainage holes in the hollow cylinder of the jacket wall, wherein the drainage holes are generated simultaneously in their individual segments, characterised in that - at least a few embossing elements are generated directly adjoining one another so that a boundary contour (15b, 15c) of an embossing element is simultaneously a boundary contour (15b, 15c) of the other embossing element in regions, wherein at least one drainage hole is generated at the boundary contour (15b, 15c), - the boundary contours (15b, 15c) are generated so as to end in a shared free outer edge, wherein the drainage hole is generated in particular fully in the outer edge, and - the drainage holes are cut from the inside out. - at least a few embossing elements are generated directly adjoining one another so that a boundary contour (15b, 15c) of an embossing element is simultaneously a boundary contour (15b, 15c) of the other embossing element in regions, wherein at least one drainage hole is generated at the boundary contour (15b, 15c), - the boundary contours (15b, 15c) are generated so as to end in a shared free outer edge, wherein the drainage hole is generated in particular fully in the outer edge, and - the drainage holes are cut from the inside out.
