A label is attached to a base material in a container. The container includes patterns formed in a plurality of stages on the base material by laser irradiation. The patterns may include an aggregation of dots formed by the laser irradiation. The container may further include a first information region and a second information region. Information including a numeral, a symbol, or an image is made visible by the patterns in the first information region. The second information region is formed on the label. Information including a numeral, a symbol, or an image is made visible in the second information region.

A composite preform including a preform and a plastic member in close contact with the outer surface of the preform is made by preparing the preform made of plastic material and arranging the plastic member to surround the outer surface of the preform. Subsequently, the composite preform is heated and inserted in a blow molding die and undergoes blow molding in the blow molding die, by which the preform and the plastic member of the composite preform are inflated integrally and a composite container is obtained.

A polylactic acid formed body including a polylactic acid base material (1) and a hydrocarbon film (3) vapor-deposited on the surface of the base material by a plasma CVD method. The polylactic acid base material (1) exhibits a sharp X-ray diffraction peak in which a half-width of peak appearing in the 10°-25° wide angle X-ray measurement is not more than 1.22°, and the hydrocarbon film (3) is vapor-deposited on the surface of the polylactic acid base material (1), and includes two layers of a high CH.sub.2 layer (3a) having a ratio of CH.sub.2 per the total of CH, CH.sub.2 and CH.sub.3 of not less than 40% and a low CH.sub.2 layer (3b) formed on the high CH.sub.2 layer (3a) and having a ratio of CH.sub.2 per the total of CH, CH.sub.2 and CH.sub.3 of not more than 35%.

A thermoset undercoating composition for a food or beverage container or other packaging container, the thermoset undercoating composition comprising a binder polymer, an adhesion promoting additive comprising an aminoplast resin having at least one reactive group having an ethylenically unsaturated double bond that is reactive under free-radical curing conditions, an optional crosslinker configured to react with the binder polymer upon thermal curing of the thermoset undercoating composition, wherein the optional crosslinker preferably does not include groups that are reactive under free-radical curing conditions, and a liquid carrier.

A heat-shrinkable laminated film having: (A) layer mainly having a polyester series resin; (C) layer mainly having a polystyrene series resin or mixture of polyester series and polystyrene series resins; and (B) layer mainly having polyester series and polystyrene series resins and disposed between (A) and (C) layers, the film having excellent heat-shrinkability, transparency, and interlayer-adhesiveness at room temperature, not easily peeled in a high-temperature treatment, inhibited from whitening when bent during processing, and suitable for shrinkage-packaging, shrink-bond-packaging, etc., with (B) layer having: a hard polyester series resin or mixture of hard polyester series and soft polyester series resins; and soft styrene series resin, hard styrene series resin, or mixture thereof, or with a content of the (B) layer polyester series resin smaller than that of the (A) layer one, and a content of the (C) layer polyester series resin smaller than that of the (B) layer one.

[Object] To provide a resin container having a dense and. thin coating with good gas barrier properties and a resin-container coating apparatus.

[Solution] A metal oxide film 102 is formed on at least one of inner and outer surfaces of a resin container 101. The metal oxide film 102 includes a stack of layers of a metal forming the metal oxide film that are deposited on an atomic level and has a thickness of 5 to 100 nm.

A polyester-resin-coated seamless can including a reduced diameter portion obtained by neck processing within a distance of 0% to 15% from a can body uppermost portion with respect to a total height of the can from the can body uppermost portion to a can bottom of the can. A ratio Im/Iu is 1.0 or more, where Iu (cps/μm) is calculated by dividing a maximum peak intensity in a range satisfying 15°≤2θ≤19° of an outer-surface coating in a maximum reduced diameter portion of the reduced diameter portion by a thickness of the coating at the measurement site, and Im (cps/μm) is calculated by dividing a maximum peak intensity in a range satisfying 15°≤2θ≤19° of outer-surface coating at a measurement site within a distance of 45% to 60% from the can body uppermost portion by a thickness of the outer-surface coating at the measurement site.

The present invention is directed to a glass container having an outer glass surface with an inkjet printed image provided on said surface, characterized in that an at least partially water soluble CEC with a thickness from 0.002 to 10 micrometer is present between the outer glass surface and the inkjet printed image.

Such glass container is preferably a one-way beverage bottle.

In addition, the present invention is directed to a method of inkjet printing an image on a glass container comprising the steps of: a) manufacturing a glass container having an at least partially water soluble CEC layer with a thickness from 0.002 to 10 micrometer, b) inkjet printing an image on the glass container.
