Container 10 is made during container-manufacturing process 100 frommulti-layer tube 12 as shown inFIG. 3A-3C .Multi-layer tube 12 includesinner polymeric layer 12I, middle cellular non-aromaticpolymeric layer 12M, and outer polymeric layer 12O as shown inFIG. 2 . In one example,inner polymeric layer 12I, middle insulative cellular non-aromaticpolymeric layer 12M, and outer polymeric layer 12O are made from the same polymeric material or materials. In another example, each of theinner polymeric layer 12I, middle insulative cellular non-aromaticpolymeric layer 12M, and outer polymeric layer 12O are made from different materials. - In one example, inner and outer
polymeric layers 12I, 12O are made from polypropylene. In another example, inner and outerpolymeric layers 12I, 12O are made from high density polyethylene. In still yet another example, one of the polymeric layers may include a polymeric material and an oxygen barrier material such as Ethylene Vinyl Alcohol (EVOH). However, inner and outerpolymeric layers - Middle insulative cellular non-aromatic
polymeric layer 12M is configured to provide means for insulating a beverage or food placed in aninterior region 14 formed incontainer 10, forming a structure having sufficient mechanical characteristics to support the beverage or food, and providing resistance to deformation and puncture. In one example, middle insulative cellular non-aromaticpolymeric layer 12M is made from an insulative cellular non-aromatic high density polyethylene material. In another example, middle insulative cellular non-aromaticpolymeric layer 12M is made from a predominantly polypropylene material. Reference is hereby made to U.S. application Ser. No. 13/491,007, filed Jun. 7, 2012 and titled POLYMERIC MATERIAL FOR AN INSULATED CONTAINER for disclosure relating to a polypropylene based insulative cellular non-aromatic polymeric material, which application is hereby incorporated in its entirety herein. - In illustrative embodiments, the middle cellular non-aromatic
polymeric layer 12M has a density in a range of about 0.01 g/cm3 to about 0.19 g/cm3. In illustrative embodiments, the middle cellular non-aromatic polymeric layer has a density in a range of about 0.05 g/cm3 to about 0.19 g/cm3. In illustrative embodiments, the middle cellular non-aromatic polymeric layer has a density in a range of about 0.1 g/cm3 to about 0.185 g/cm3. - Outer polymeric layer 12O and
inner polymeric layer 12I are, for example, made a non-aromatic polymer. Innerpolymeric layer 12I is spaced apart from outer polymeric layer 12O so as to locate middle insulative cellular non-aromaticpolymeric layer 12M therebetweenInner polymer layer 12I is located betweeninterior region 14 and middle insulative cellular non-aromaticpolymeric layer 12M as shown, for example, inFIG. 2 . - In one illustrative example, outer and inner polymeric layers 12O, 12I are made from polypropylene. While inner and outer
polymeric layers 12O, 12I may be made from the same material, they may also be made from different materials so as to achieve desired performance characteristics of the container. -
Container 10 includes, from top to bottom, abrim 16 and abody 18 as shown inFIG. 1 .Brim 16 is appended to a top portion ofbody 18 and arranged to define amouth 20 opening intointerior region 14 formed inbody 18. In one example,container 10 is an insulative drink cup and brim 16 is adapted to mate with a lid which covers and closesmouth 20. -
Container 10 is formed using container-manufacturing process 100 as shown, for example inFIGS. 3A-4 . Container-manufacturing process 100 is, for example, a multi-layer co-extruded blow molding operation as suggested inFIGS. 3A and 4 . Container-manufacturing process 100 includes an innerlayer extrusion operation 102, a middlelayer extrusion operation 104, an outerlayer extrusion operation 106, and atube forming operation 108 as shown inFIGS. 3A and 4 Innerlayer extrusion operation 102 occurs when afirst extruder 131 extrudes aninner layer 142 which provides innerpolymeric layer 12I. Middlelayer extrusion operation 104 occurs when asecond extruder 132 extrudes amiddle layer 142 which provides middle cellular non-aromaticpolymeric layer 12M. Outerlayer extrusion operation 106 occurs when athird extruder 133 extrudes anouter layer 143 which provides outer polymeric layer 12O. All threelayers tube forming operation 108 in adie 140 to establishmulti-layer tube 12 as shown inFIG. 3A . - While container-
manufacturing process 100 shows the extrusion of three layers, any number of inner layers, middle layers, and outer layers may be extruded by any number of extrudes. These various layers may then be combined in the die to establish a multi-layer tube. - Container-
manufacturing process 100 further includes an extrudingmulti-layer tube operation 110, amold closing operation 112, anair pumping operation 114, amold opening operation 116, and avessel removing operation 118 as shown, for example, inFIGS. 3B-4 . During extrudingmulti-layer tube operation 110,extruders layers multi-layer tube 12 is extruded between twomold halves mold 134 as shown inFIG. 3A . Duringmold closing operation 112, mold halves 134A, 134B are brought together to establish amold cavity 134C formed inmold 134. Next, air is pumped into a portion ofmulti-layer tube 12 trapped inmold cavity 134C to causemulti-layer tube 12 to expand and take on a shape ofmold cavity 134C and establish avessel 22 including aninterior space 24 filled with air. However, in another example vacuum may be applied to themulti-layer tube 12 inmold cavity 134 to take on the shape ofmold cavity 134. Duringmold opening operation 116, mold halves 134A, 134B open and move away from one another as shown inFIG. 3C .Vessel 22 is removed frommold 134. - In one example, a continuous extrusion process may be used in combination with a rotary blow molding machine. In this example, a continuous multi-layer tube is extruded and a series of molds included in the rotary blow molding machine rotate relative to the multi-layer tube. As molds approach the extruders forming the multi-layer tube, they begin to move from an opened arrangement to a closed arrangement trapping a portion of the multi-layer tube in a mold cavity formed in the mold. As the molds move away from the extruders forming the multi-layer tube, they move from the closed position to an opened position where a vessel is ejected from the mold cavity. One example of a rotary extrusion blow molding machine is available from Wilmington Machinery of Wilmington, N.C.
- In another example, a continuous extrusion process may be used in combination with a shuttle blow molding machine. In this example, a first mold on a track moves to an opened position, slides over to receive the multi-layer tube in the mold cavity, and moves to a closed position. The first mold then slides away from the multi-layer tube where air is pumped into the interior space to cause the multi-layer tube to assume the mold shape. When the first mold moves away from the multi-layer tube, a second mold moves to an opened position, slides over to receive the continuously extruded multi-layer tube in a mold cavity of the second mold, and moves to a closed position. The second mold then slides away from the multi-layer tube where air is pumped into the interior space. While the second mold moves away from the multi-layer tube, the first mold moves to the opened position ejecting the vessel to start the process over again. One example of a shuttle blow molding machine is available from Graham Engineering Corporation of York, Pa.
- Container-
manufacturing process 100 may include an optional step of inserting a label or other item in the mold cavity prior to receiving themulti-layer tube 12 therein.

Thus, container-manufacturing process 100 is capable of an-mold labeling operation. - Container-
manufacturing process 100 further includes acutting operation 120 and a formingoperation 122 as shown inFIG. 4 . During cuttingoperation 120, a top portion 26 ofvessel 22 is cut and separated fromvessel 22 to causebody 18 to be established. As shown inFIGS. 5 and 6 ,body 18 includes aside wall 28 and afloor 30.Floor 30 is appended to a lower portion ofside wall 28 and cooperates withside wall 28 to defineinterior region 14 as shown inFIG. 5 .Body 18 may then be accumulated and transported to formingoperation 122 where a brim-forming step and a printing step may be performed. During the brim-forming step, brim 16 is formed onbody 18 using a brim-forming machine (not shown) where a top portion ofbody 18 is rolled downwardly towardside wall 28. During the printing step, graphics, words, or other indicia may be printed on outwardly facing surface of outer polymeric layer 12O.
