The invention is directed to an injection molding device for manufacturing of composite products comprising a combination of a blank and an injection-molded plastic component, the product and a method of manufacturing of these composite products. The injection molding device comprising two outer mold halves displaceable along a first axis and a center block being arranged, with respect to the first direction, between the outer mold halves rotatable around a center axis perpendicular to the first direction. The center block carrying inner mold halves on at least one pair of side faces, which each form with outer mold halves in the closed position at least one cavity. The at least one cavity comprises at least one clamping means to clamp at least one blank, and in the closed position of the injection molding device forming at least one compartment to receive liquefied plastic material to form a plastic component interconnecting to the blank along at least one pair of adjacent edges.

An opening system for a container comprising a packaging material having an outside and an inside. An injection molded opening element, wherein the injection molded opening element is attached to the inside of the packaging material at a first point, and extends from the inside of the packaging material and through to the outside of the packaging material. And, wherein the injection molded opening element is attached to the outside of the packaging material at a second point and extends a distance from the second point for opening the container.

A package (10) is provided and comprise a frame (15) formed from a plastics material and a wall (20) formed from a paper or paper-based material.

A thermally expandable sheet includes: a first thermally expansive layer that is formed on one side of a base and contains a first thermally expandable material and a first binder, the first thermally expansive layer having a first ratio of the first thermally expandable material with respect to the first binder; and a second thermally expansive layer that is formed on the first thermally expansive layer and contains a second thermally expandable material and a second binder, the second thermally expansive layer having a second ratio of the second thermally expandable material with respect to the second binder, wherein the first ratio is lower than the second ratio.

A method for making labels comprising providing a plastic substrate layer and a paper substrate layer. The paper substrate layer comprises a printed display information sheet, wherein the printed display information sheet comprises a plurality of display information tags arranged in an array. The plastic substrate layer is coupled to each of the rows of display information tags within a first portion of the display information tags to form a composite substrate row. A first line of perforations is cut into a width of the composite substrate at one or more first spaced intervals, a length of the first spaced intervals being defined by a length of the display information tags. A second line of perforations is cut into a width of the composite substrate at one or more second spaced intervals, a length of the second spaced intervals being defined by a height of the display information tags.

Disclosed are a UV-curable resin composition for vacuum forming and a replica film of a real material including the same. The UV-curable resin composition includes a prepolymer including a urethane-containing oligomer, an acrylate monomer and a photoinitiator.

A molding apparatus for manufacturing an opening device on a package material, comprises a first mold half and a second mold half arranged opposite the first mold half and having a recess. The first mold half comprises a recess and a displaceable cover element covering partly the recess thereby forming a cavity with an opening within the first mold half, wherein the opening is arranged at least partly opposite the recess of the second mold half.

A multi-layered composite film is provided that includes immediately consecutive and mutually bonded layers A-B-C: A: on the visible side, a polymer layer comprising 1 to 100% by weight of extrudable thermoplastic polyurethane-containing polymer and/or ionomer; B: a tie layer comprising one or more modified plastics for the tie; C: on the substrate side, a decorative layer;
wherein the layered composite is coextruded from the layers A and B and hot-melt laminated with the decorative substrate layer at a temperature above the fusion temperature of the layered composite, while simultaneously pattern(s) is/are plastically embossed on the visible side of the multi-layered composite film. The multi-layered composite films may be used as a floor covering, wall panelling or furniture film. A method for manufacturing the multi-layered composite films is also provided.

Disclosed are a UV-curable resin composition for vacuum forming and a replica film of a real material including the same. The UV-curable resin composition includes a prepolymer including a urethane-containing oligomer, an acrylate monomer and a photoinitiator.

A method for producing a decorative part which comprises a visible side with a decorative layer and a mounting side with a substrate layer, wherein a polysilazane-containing composition is applied to the visible side of the decorative layer to form a cover layer and is subsequently cured. Also, a decorative part producible by the method.
