The method for manufacturing a preform intended for creating a container comprises: - a step 34 of transferring a digital model of the preform that is to be manufactured to an additive manufacturing machine, - a step 36 of producing the preform using the additive manufacturing machine from the transferred digital model, and - a step 38 of cooling the manufactured preform at ambient temperature.

A synthetic resin container and method for manufacturing the same, including a container main body molded into a predetermined container shape and a covering layer laminated on an outer peripheral surface side of the container main body. The method includes heating the composite preform to bring the covering material layer into a molten state or a semi-molten state while softening the preform main body to be stretchable, subsequently molding the composite preform into a predetermined container shape by using a blow molding die in which an edge portion formed by providing a step on a cavity inner peripheral surface extends along a predetermined direction, and providing, in the covering material layer to be molded integrally with the preform main body, a thin portion molded by being brought into pressure contact with the edge portion.

A method of injection molding a test tube-shaped preform for biaxial stretch blow molding includes supplying a major material resin from outer and inner flow paths to a combined flow path for a predetermined time and rate. For a period of time within a range of the predetermined time period during which the major material resin is supplied, the intermediate layer resin is simultaneously supplied from the middle flow path to the combined flow path at a second predetermined supplying rate. A columnar laminated molten resin is injected into a cavity of a metal mold connected to a tip of the nozzle through a gate to fill the cavity, the columnar laminated molten resin being composed of the major material resin and the intermediate layer resin formed in the major material resin in a laminated manner that are combined into a columnar shape at the combined flow path.

To solve a problem associated with formation of a transparent window portion in a biaxially stretch blow molded container by a nozzle structure of an injection molding apparatus, provided is a biaxially stretch blow molded container formed with a clearly transparent window portion in longitudinal strip shape by effectively preventing mixture of colored resin to window portion. Injection molding apparatus includes in nozzle portion a longitudinal groove flow path, wherein a transparent B resin flows. By, for example, reducing and increasing, respectively, the width and depth of the longitudinal groove flow path on the downstream side, and engraving slits in an inner mandrel and even in a front end portion of a stopper pin, flowability of the B resin in a horizontal direction is enhanced.

A polymeric container including a base, a body, a finish, finish threads, and a tamper lip. The finish threads are at an outer surface of the finish, and are configured to cooperate with closure threads of a closure to secure the closure to the finish. The tamper lip extends from the outer surface of the finish, and is configured to replace the support flange during handling, and to cooperate with a tamper band of the closure. A recess is below the tamper lip. The recess retains the tamper band below the tamper lip when the closure is removed from cooperation with the finish. A gripper pad is between the finish threads and the tamper lip. The gripper pad is configured to cooperate with a gripper for grasping the finish.

A tamper evidence closure is provided for rotatably engaging with a finish of a container to seal contents within the interior of the container. A multiplicity of thin connections attach a tamper evidence band to a circumference of the tamper evidence closure. A segmented cam extends around the circumference of the tamper evidence band. An angled lower surface of the cam facilitates passing the tamper evidence band over a tamper evidence ledge of the finish during assembly of the tamper evidence closure onto the container. An upper surface of the cam engages with the tamper evidence ledge to break the thin connections and retain the tamper evidence band positioned on the finish during loosening of the tamper evidence closure. Multiple overhang portions above the cam press against an upper portion of the tamper evidence ledge to ensure that the tamper evidence band remains engaged with the tamper evidence ledge.

A method for making a fluid substance container starting from a preform, the container coupled by a ring nut to a hermetic pump to form a fluid substance dispensing device, including heating and blow-moulding the preform to obtain the container; the preform formed of an external body and an internal body mutually assembled before being blow-moulded, the external body being cup-shaped with a first free end, the internal body being cup-shaped with a second free end having a flange whereby, when the internal body and external body are assembled, the flange abuts the first free end and protrudes a distance along an external perimeter of the external body near the free end, the external body being configured to form—once blow-moulded—the external recipient of the container while the internal body is configured to form a deformable bag housed inside the container, the ring nut having a undercut which engages the flange so that when the ring nut is removed the now empty deformable bag comes with it, in addition to the pump.

A method of making a storage bag comprising the following steps performed in any order: (a) forming a composite tube having an inner surface comprising a higher melting polymer, an outer surface comprising a lower melting polymer, two ends, and a diameter; (b) flattening the tube in a direction perpendicular to the diameter; (c) forming a joint at one of the ends at a temperature between respective melting points of the higher melting polymer and the lower melting polymer; (d) providing a composite sheet having a first side comprising a higher melting polymer and a second side comprising a lower melting polymer; and (e) disposing the composite sheet over the joint such that the first side comprising a lower melting polymer engages the joint and forming a lap seam over the joint at a temperature between respective melting points of the higher melting polymer and the lower melting polymer, and a storage bag made by such method.

The present invention concerns a biodegradable and compostable composition comprising i) 15-70% by weight of at least one biodegradable and/or decayable aromatic polyester; ii) 0-40% by weight of dolomite and/or calcium carbonate particles having a polished surface; iii) 0-30% by weight of starch of vegetable origin; iv) 1-5% by weight of at least one oil of vegetable origin; v) 5-30% by weight of an additive chosen from hydrated magnesium silicate such as talcum powder; vi) 0-50% by weight of at least one aliphatic polyester.
