Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method of applying colour or print onto the same place of each one of a number of succeeding round plastics containers having a bottom and a skirt that leave a manufacturing apparatus.
  • Such methods usually comprise holding the plastics container in such a manner that it is able to rotate about its axis of symmetry during the printing; and a colour transfer cloth rotating about an axis and being in contact with the round-going sidewall of the container during rotation of the container for application of colour onto the container.
  • known methods comprise a number of clichés that are caused to rotate in such a manner that they touch the colour transfer cloth for application of colour there onto in accordance with how it is wished to apply the colour onto the container itself.
  • the prior art methods usually comprise a separate process as described above.
  • both solutions are technically complex and hence also cost intensive.
  • IE 990027 discloses a method of printing on plastic components.
  • DE3718243Al discloses a method printing on the bottom face of a container.
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view of conveyors with plastics containers.
  • Plastics packagings for foodstuffs are often configured with a part that is, on the one hand, to facilitate opening of the container and, on the other, to prevent a container from being opened and closed again without leaving permanent traces.
  • a part that is, on the one hand, to facilitate opening of the container and, on the other, to prevent a container from being opened and closed again without leaving permanent traces.
  • such (tamper) part consists of a rupture mechanism in the form of a (relatively) small flap that is to be torn off or depressed before the lid on the container can be removed; however, other embodiments are also known.
  • Figure 1 shows a conveyor 23 and four plastics containers 10 produced by means of moulding apparatus 22 not explained in further detail.
  • the containers comprise a skirt 2 encircling the upper part of the container, and this skirt is provided with a small flap 1 (which may, of course, equally well be another known opening mechanism) and being, in the shown example, oriented towards the left side of the drawing.
  • the containers leave the moulding apparatus 22 via a not specifically shown or described ejector mechanism 20, they are always oriented in one and the same manner, and by the invention it is realised that by means of a touch-free or approximately touch-free printer method, such as eg inkjets, this fact can be relied on for the purpose of applying colour in one and the same spot.
  • a touch-free or approximately touch-free printer method such as eg inkjets
  • the part for applying colour or print is, as shown, an arm 21 with a (printer) head 21 which is capable of hitting a flap 1.
  • the flap is located on the skirt 2 of a container 10.
