An improved method for molding a plastic container within a mold including an RFID tag to generate a container which leaves a mold having an RFID tag bonded between the container and a label. This method provides for an improved integrally, extrusion blow molded container, label and RFID tag combination.

A blow molding apparatus improves productivity and obtains a high-quality molded product by supplying a good-quality parison to molds. A blow molding apparatus includes: a die head which discharges a parison; a parison supplying part which cuts the discharged parison at a preset length and conveys the cut parison; and a blow molding part in which the supplied parison is clamped between blow molds so as to perform blow molding. The parison supplying part has a pickup chuck which conveys the cut parison alternately to a first supplying position set on one of right and left sides with respect to a discharge center of the die head and a second supplying position set on the other of right and left sides with respect to the discharge center. The blow molding part performs blow molding at the blow molds arranged at the first supplying position and the second supplying position, respectively.

Disclosed is a blow mold for plastic bottle, which comprises: a mold body, two exhaust channels, a label plate, and a vacuum suction assembly; the mold cavity is arranged in the mold body, the mold cavity is used for shaping the bottle embryo; the two exhaust channels are connected to the mold cavity; the vacuum suction assembly is connected to the two exhaust channels and used to suction out the gas inside the mold cavity. The present disclosure starts the vacuum suction assembly when blow molding the bottle embryo to carry out an active exhaust operation, reduces the generation of air bubbles between the bottle embryo and the label plate and the interior of the label plate, improves the adhesion between the bottle and the label plate, also reduces the air bubbles and delamination of the interior of the laminated label plate in the process of blow molding

A blow-molded container includes a container body having a body portion that forms a square shape in a cross-sectional view orthogonal to a container axis; and in-mold labels, which are integrally glued on outer peripheral surfaces of glued portions, ranging from corner surfaces to respective planar portions continuing on both sides of corner surfaces around the container axis, in body portion. Among front and back surfaces of in-mold labels, multiple recesses are formed over entire back surfaces, which are glued to the outer peripheral surfaces of the glued portions. When tensile elasticity of in-mold labels is E (MPa) and thickness of in-mold labels is t (mm), Et.sup.3 is 0.20 or less. When the radius of curvature of the corner surfaces is R (mm) and angle formed between the planar portions is () in a cross-sectional view of the glued portions, R.sup.2 is 45000 or more.

A label picking arrangement, and a method therefore,comprising at least one anvil (1) having at least one cavity (2) and at least one picking element (3) having a picking surface(4), the label picking arrangement is connectable to an under pressure source in use, wherein the at least one cavity(2)being surrounded at least partially with at least one support surface (5) being provided, at least intermittently, with under pressureand each picking element (3) is provided, at least intermittently, with under pressure, wherein each picking element (3) is movable into corresponding cavity (2).

The invention relates to a method for the extrusion and labelling of a packaging tube (14), comprising the following successive steps performed on an extrusion-labelling line, namely: a) forming a partially or fully tubular label (17) from a film (12); b) introducing the label (17) into a calibration element (22); c) extruding a tubular body (13) on the side of the concave surface of the label (17); d) bringing the external surface of the tubular body (13) into contact with the concave surface of the label (17), step (c) being performed in the calibration element (22). The invention also relates to an extrusion-labelling device and a packaging tube.

A pipette may comprise a length, a longitudinal axis, and an inner curved surface enclosing a space. The pipette may have a tip region having a tip thickness. The tip region may be connected to a body region having a body thickness. The tip thickness may be greater than the body thickness. The body region may be connected to a mouth region having a mouth thickness. The mouth thickness may be greater than the body thickness. The inner curved surface may not contain bumps or ridges either between the tip region and the body region or between the body region and the mouth region. The pipette may be formed by blow molding or vacuum forming.
