Container of a bag-in-container type, wherein a neck region of the container is provided with at least one opening extending substantially radially there through, into a space between the outer container and an inner container adjacent thereto, wherein the neck region is provided with coupling elements, preferably at opposite sides of the at least one opening, seen in circumferential direction, for coupling of a connecting device to the container for introducing a pressure fluid through the at least one opening into a space between the inner and outer container.

The present invention aims to provide a blow-formed container having an inner surface coated with an oil-based liquid so that an oil film can be formed uniformly on the entire inner surface of the container, thereby preventing or reducing effectively adhesion or residue of a content onto the inside of the container. The blow-formed container is formed of an olefin resin and has an inner surface 1a having oil droplet dispersion of not less than 5.0 mm when the oil droplet dispersion is defined as a length of an oil droplet of medium-chain triglyceride used as a reference oil retained at 23 C. and dropped by 0.8 L onto the inner surface.

Blow molded articles having a predetermined feature incorporated into the wall provided by variations in the thickness of the wall of the article corresponding to a predetermined pattern etched into the perform from which the article was formed. Also, etched performs for making blow molded articles and methods for making such performs and articles.

Method for making blow molded articles having a predetermined feature incorporated into the wall provided by variations in the thickness of the wall of the article corresponding to a predetermined pattern etched into the preform from which the article was formed.

Blow molded articles having a predetermined feature incorporated into the wall provided by variations in the thickness of the wall of the article corresponding to a predetermined pattern etched into the preform from which the article was formed. Also, etched preforms for making blow molded articles and methods for making such preforms and articles.

Method of making a blow molded article from a preform including: a) providing a preform of a thermoplastic material having a plurality of effect structures each having an effect surface having a normal with an orientation, the preform having a body with one or more walls and an opening, wherein at least a portion of the one or more walls of the preform has a three-dimensional pattern of cavities and/or protrusions thereon; and b) blow molding the preform to form a blow molded article, wherein the step of blow molding the preform changes the orientation of the normal of at least some of the effect surfaces of the effect structures to create a visual effect in at least one wall of the blow molded article.

Article having a visual effect created by selectively varying the orientation of effect structures, such as effect pigments, within the walls of the article.

A blow molded article formed from a preform having an exterior surface including at least one etched region. The article includes a body portion including one or more walls surrounding an interior space. A cavity region corresponding to the etched region in the preform is disposed on a portion of the article outer surface and a non-cavity region is disposed adjacent the cavity region. The adjacent cavity and non-cavity regions form one or more visual effects and at least one of the one or more visual effects includes a portion having a 95% Delta E Value of at least 3.0.

Preform assembly for blow moulding a container, comprising at least a first and a second perform, wherein the first perform is positioned inside the second perform before blow moulding the performs into the container, wherein each perform has a body forming portion having a wall thickness of less than about 8 millimetres, preferably less than about 6 mm.

Disclosed herein, amongst other things, is a container having a printing layer that is printable with exposure to laser light of selected properties.
