A method of making a container via a simultaneous filling and forming of the container with a liquid product is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of extruding a parison (12, 2), capturing a portion of the parison (12, 2) within a mold (15), and inflating the captured portion of the parison (12, 2) against the mold (15). The captured portion of the parison (12, 2) is inflated against the mold (15) by introducing the liquid product into an interior of the captured portion of the parison (12, 2), wherein the liquid product forms an end product to be sealed within the resultant container.

Disclosed is a method for manufacturing packaging including a container. The method includes: an operation of forming the container via blow molding or stretch blow molding from a plastics preform, an operation of treating an inner surface of the container, during which a thin barrier layer is formed on the inner surface via plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition; an operation of printing on an outer surface of the container, during which ink is deposited on the outer surface to form a decorative and/or informative inscription thereon.

An apparatus for treating containers with a first treatment device configured to treat the containers in a predetermined first manner, with a transport device which transports the containers in a predetermined transport direction, wherein the transport device transports the containers in a transport stream extending in the transport direction, and with a reject device arranged after the first treatment device, which is configured to reject a plurality of containers arranged one after the other in the transport direction from the transport stream, wherein the apparatus has a second treatment device which is arranged before the first treatment device in the transport direction of the containers. The apparatus has a gap generating device which is arranged in front of the first treatment device in the transport direction of the containers and which generates at least one gap in the transport stream of the containers.

A preform is provided for blow-molding to form a container. The preform includes a finish portion for rotatably engaging a closure to seal contents within an interior of the container. The finish portion comprises a cylindrical body that begins at an opening to the interior and extends to and includes a tamper evidence ledge. A bevel at a beginning of the opening receives a plug seal of the closure. A sealing surface adjacent to the bevel is disposed along an interior of the finish portion and includes a polished buffer zone to cooperate with the plug seal to seal the container. A transition surface extends from the sealing surface to a handling surface that receives equipment to form the preform into the container. In some embodiments, the transition surface includes a polished buffer zone to cooperate with an end of the plug seal to seal the contents in the container.

A system (1) for producing thermoplastic material bottles (5), the system (1) comprising in sequence: an extruder (10); a molding apparatus (20) for producing preforms; a thermal conditioning apparatus (30) for thermally conditioning the preforms; a blowing apparatus (40) for producing bottles (5) from the preforms; a pulsed light irradiation apparatus (50, 55, 60, 70); an aseptic filling and capping apparatus (80).

A synthetic resin container that is formed in a bottle shape having a mouth and a trunk and that is provided in the trunk with at least one reduced pressure absorbing panel. The trunk has a density of 1.3695 g/cm.sup.3 or more, and a ratio of a crystal orientation in a transverse direction with respect to a total value of a crystal orientation in a machine direction and the crystal orientation in the transverse direction in the trunk is less than 44%.

A sheet is used for a disposable wearable article. The sheet is such that a plurality of projections are formed on a single nonwoven fabric. A hole is formed in the apex of the projection. The projection includes a holding portion, in a periphery of the hole and at a position adjacent to the hole, for holding the projection and holding an open state of the hole.

Method for processing hot-filled plastic containers are provided. In some embodiments, the method may include hot-filling a plastic container, sealing the container, and conveying the sealed container, each with an inner annular wall and a push-up portion in a first position. In some embodiments, the method may further include creating a vacuum pressure in the hot-filled and sealed container and repositioning the push-up portion from the first position to a second position under a mechanical force.

Process for the manufacture of dual-chamber containers (1) includes steps of: shaping one layer of a plastic material to form at least one semi-finished product (2); closing the semi-finished product (2) inside a forming mould (3); blowing an expansion gas to make the semi-finished product (2) adhere to the forming mould (3) to form a strip (6) comprising at least one pair of vials (7a, 7b), wherein each of the vials (7a, 7b) is provided with: a hollow body (9) comprising a substantially flat first wall (8a) and a substantially curved second wall (8b); a closed delivery neck (12); and an open bottom tang (14);

and wherein the hollow bodies (9) are joined together through a folding attachment portion (11); folding the pair of vials (7a, 7b) around the folding attachment portion (11) between an extended configuration, wherein the first walls (8a) are substantially coplanar, and a configuration of use, wherein the first walls (8a) are facing each other and brought close to each other to obtain a dual-chamber container (1).

A method for regulating a facility for processing a series of containers includes an operating phase during which a first machine for processing containers that is equipped with a number of first stations is driven in rotation, and a second machine for processing containers that is equipped with a number of second stations is driven in rotation. The facility has a transfer point from the first to the second processing machine. The operating phase includes a synchronized and paired operating step in which the synchronized rotation of the first and second machines is accompanied by a repetitive series of pairing partners at the transfer point, each pairing partner including a first station arriving at the transfer point coincidentally with a second station, enabling transfer of a container from the first station of the pairing partner to the second station of the pairing partner.
