The invention refers to a method for forming an article having a decorative surface comprising: a) screen printing an ink composition comprising a curable composition onto at least one major surface of a thermoformable polymeric sheet; b) curing said curable composition to obtain a printed sheet having on at least one major surface an ink comprising a cured composition; and c) thermoforming the printed sheet to obtain a decorated article, wherein said curable composition comprises a polyisocyanate and a component comprising isocyanate reactive groups and wherein said ink composition contains a solvent or solvent blend in which said curable composition is soluble or miscible.

A package includes a container and a lid adapted to mate with a brim of the container. The lid closes a top opening in the container when mounted on the container. In a lid-coupling process, a product is discharged from an interior product-storage region formed in the container. The elastic top wall of the lid is moved along the container brim to establish a radially outwardly moving brim-wiping motion to cause substantially all of any spilled product located on the annular brim to be displaced and wiped off the container brim so that little, if any, spilled product remains on the container brim.

A plastic product, for example a cartridge, is made of plastic material which has a ratio of at least 30 wt.-% of PCR (Post Consumer Recycled) material. A method for producing a plastic product using an injection molding process includes the following steps: (a) providing a partially recycled plastic material comprising a ratio of at least 30 wt.-% of PCR material; (b) liquefying the plastic material; (c) injecting the liquid plastic material into a cavity of a mold; and (d) demolding the product after cooling.

A vertical form fill and seal system supports a sheet of material having material segments and a tube sized for drawing edges of the elongated sheet of material together in an overlapping configuration to form the sheet into a substantially tube shape. The VFFS also includes a sealer that seals the edges of the material to one another and a gusseting mechanism sized for forming a gusseted tuck in each of a left panel portion of the material and a right panel portion of the material. A cutting mechanism removes a first portion and a second portion of a first segment of the material segments in order to form a first cut and a second cut in the first segment and a sealing mechanism folds and seals the first segment at the first cut and at the second cut to provide an end wall with a substantially flat, rectangular-shaped footprint.

A method for producing gramophone records by injection moulding, comprises the steps of heating polymeric material to liquefy said material, supplying liquid polymeric material under pressure from a feed zone to a space between two mould parts via a nozzle. The liquid polymeric material is passed through a single passage located in one of the mould parts and forced under pressure through the nozzle into said space. Polyethylene terephthalate isophthalic acid modified copolymer is used as said polymeric material.
