Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to plastic containers having digital images printed thereon, particularly containers having improved adhesion and recycling characteristics and methods for digitally printing containers and facilitating recycling.
- Container manufacturers have recently produced containers with digitally printed labels that are of a sufficient definition and quality to compete with and potentially replace prior conventional labeling techniques. Examples of such printing techniques are described in U.S. Patent Application 1 1/562,655, which is incorporated herein by reference. However, for many applications, it is desirable to utilize standards for providing, measuring, and assessing printed images that may serve as labels.
- a plastic container that has an external surface with a digital image printed thereon by droplets of ink.
- the digital image includes a base coat and a secondary coat that is applied to the base coat.
- Embodiments of the invention disclose containers having improved adhesion and/or recycling characteristics.
- the digital image adheres to the plastic container and the digital image has an acceptable or "passing" adhesion score (which for some scoring systems is a score of 6.0 or greater).
- Methods for digitally printing containers and facilitating recycling are also disclosed. Docket No. 65440-0916 (08-235-PCT)
- FIG. 1 generally illustrates a side view of a portion of a container with a digital image printed thereon;
- FIG. 2 is general representation of a quality review table/matrix that may be used to evaluate the acceptability of a printed image on a container.
- FIG. 1 A portion of a surface 10 of a container with a printed digital image 20 is generally illustrated in FIG. 1.
- the digital image 20 includes a base coat 30 that may be comprised of a plurality of base coat ink droplets 32, and a secondary coat 40 that is comprised of a plurality of secondary coat ink droplets 42.
- the base coat 30 may be comprised of a material that serves to improve the application of ink droplets and/or provides a visual characteristic.
- the base coat 30 may comprise white and/or colorless portions.
- at least a first base coat 30 is applied to a surface of a container at a first time ti and at a first temperature T 1 .
- the temperature T 1 will be in the range of temperatures Docket No. 65440-0916 (08-235-PCT)
- the base coat 30 may be ultraviolet (UV) curable, and further may be cured prior to an application of a secondary coat.
- UV ultraviolet
- the secondary coat 40 may be comprised of a plurality of secondary coat ink droplets 42 that are distributed on at least a portion of the base coat 30.
- a plurality of secondary coat ink droplets 42 may collectively form a part of an application pattern which, in turn, may form all or a portion of a digital image.
- portions of one or more adjacent secondary coat ink droplets 42 may overlap or intermix with each other.
- the secondary coat 40, and the constituent secondary coat ink droplets 42 may comprise various known colors, including without limitation, primary printing colors such as cyan, magenta, and yellow. Further, controlling the overlapping of or combinations of certain colors in certain areas can provide additional "process" colors. Additionally, the secondary coat ink droplets 42 may be curable.
- UV curable secondary coat ink droplets may comprise all or a portion of the intended digital image.
- the secondary coat ink droplets can vary in diameter, which can range, for instance, from about 10 microns to about 200 microns.
- the secondary coat 40 may be applied to a surface 10 of a container at a second time X 2 and at a second temperature T 2 , wherein the second temperature T 2 at which the secondary coat 40 is applied is typically less than the first temperature T 1 at which the base coat 30 is applied.
- the time between application of a base coat and the application of a secondary coat may be reduced - for example, to as little as ten seconds or less.
- the application time differential will be within two to six seconds.
- the application temperature differential between the temperature at which the base coat 30 is applied and the temperature at which a secondary coat 40 is applied to a portion of the base coat 30, i.e., T 1 minus T 2 may be controlled to be equal to or less than about 10 0 F.
- the application temperature differential will be within Docket No. 65440-0916 (08-235-PCT)
- the temperatures associated with the application of the base coat 30 and the secondary coat 40 it may be desirable to modify the temperatures associated with the application of the base coat 30 and the secondary coat 40 so that the respective application temperatures are closer together - i.e., so that the temperature differential between the applied coats is reduced or minimized. This can be accomplished, for instance, by (a) lowering/decreasing T 1 , (b) raising/increasing T 2 , or (c) a combination of (a) and (b).
- Such aforementioned time and/or temperature control with respect to the base coat and secondary coat can provide for better adhesion of the resulting printed digital image with respect to the container.
- irradiance is a factor that can also affect the effective cure rate for a printed image. That is, with certain times (e.g., t-i and t 2 ) and temperatures (e.g., T 1 and T 2 ), there may be an associated irradiance - i.e., E 1 and ⁇ 2 .
- a base coat may be cured at irradiance ⁇ 1 ; and an associated secondary coat may be cured at irradiance ⁇ 2 .
- the effective cure rate - which may be based on a combination of time, temperature, and irradiance - the irradiance may generally be provided by the following equation:
- the range of irradiance for some embodiments will be between about 0.1 watts/cm 2 and about 10.0 watts/cm 2 .
- the containers (which includes bottles) associated with the present invention are comprised of a plastic material (e.g., PET, HDPE, PP, PE, etc.).
- the containers may be mono-layer or multi-layer containers, and can be formed using various conventional forming techniques including, without limitation, blow molding, thermoforming, etc.
- the outermost layer/surface is comprised of a virgin plastic material.
- teachings of the invention may include some percentage of recycled content, including a small percentage (e.g., 20% or less) in the outer layer of the container.
- the relevant coat or ink may be cured after each respective print station.
- a process may, at least in part, comprise: application of base coat; cure step; application of secondary coat; and cure step.
- the process may, at least in part, comprise: application of base coat; cure step; application of base coat; cure step; application of secondary coat, and cure step.
- it can be desirable for the production/subsequent handling rate of containers/bottles to match or substantially match the flow/processing rates of the associated printing machine(s).
- the quality of printed digital images may be, at least in part, controlled and/or improved through one or more of the following techniques:
- inks comprising the base and secondary coats. It has been discovered that the inks used can be selected to provide desired time and/or temperature characteristics, including relative to one another in combination. For example, selection of certain inks having given viscosities can exhibit or provide certain desired temperature related effects. Docket No. 65440-0916 (08-235-PCT)
- the temperature of a relevant portion of a sidewall can be treated or controlled to some measure.
- a given portion of the container can be pre-treated.
- Such pre-treatment can be facilitated using various known techniques that may include, without limitation, flame, corona, and plasma treatment.
- the invention is not limited to those specific pre-treatment techniques.
- timing control With respect to timing control, the time associate with the movement of containers, for instance through a production machine, as well as the timing of the applications of the base coat and/or secondary coat, can be controlled. It can be desirable for the production/subsequent handling rate of containers/bottles to match or substantially match the flow/processing rates of the associated printing machine(s).
- the present invention also includes a system for assessing or evaluating the "acceptability," such as the commercial acceptability, of a container having a digitally printed image - such as a digitally printed label. That is, for embodiments of the invention, the system for assessing or evaluating can provide an "adhesion score.”
- FIG. 2 generally represents a quality review table/matrix that can be used to assess or evaluate the acceptability of a printed image on a container.
- the Y- axis may involve numbers associated with an overall pass-or-fail score. In the illustrated embodiment, numbers 1 through 5 indicate that the containers are not acceptable, while numbers 6 through 9 indicate that the associated containers are acceptable.
- Test 1 may include a "Sutherland Rub Test”
- Test 2 may comprise a "3M #610 Tape Test”
- Test 3 may Docket No. 65440-0916 (08-235-PCT)
- Test 4 may comprise a "3M #810 Tape Test.”
- various pass-or-fail designations may be represented on the table in connection with each noted Test.
- the tests may be modified as appropriate for use in connection with a printed image as opposed to a traditionally applied label.
- the tests associated with the table/matrix may or may not involve the cutting of the digital image portion with a cutting tool prior to applying a pressure sensitive tape.
- "Test 2" may involve a "modified” 3M #610 Tape Test in so far as the portion of the digital image portion of a container that is subjected to testing may not be cross-cut or otherwise separated from the container.
- an indication of a "pass” with respect to tape tests directly practicing the modified ASTM standard (i.e., the test does not involve cross-cutting/separation) would generally be represented by any removed portions being no larger than 2.0 mm 2 .
- an indication of "pass” would generally be a classification "4B” or "5B” (under the ASTM Fig. 1 Classification of Adhesion Test Results), or would involve less than 5% of the printed area removed.
- a container with a printed digital image that, at a minimum, passes a modified 3M #610 tape test and is nonetheless "recyclable.”
- a digital image that is printed on a container is considered to be “recyclable” if it would achieve less then a "4B" classification (i.e., 5% of more of the area is removed) employing an ASTM D 3359 standard #810 tape test.
- Such a container with a printed image having an adhesion score of 6.0 or 7.0 is commercially suitable for shipment (i.e., passing a Simulated Ship Test) while providing an adhesion associated with the printed image that is sufficient for normal/intended use but is favorably separable for subsequent recycling.
- a Simulated Ship Test a Simulated Ship Test
- the adhesion associated with the configured digital image is sufficiently strong for intended use but does not impede separation during recycling.
- each test may be conducted on a adequate (e.g., statistically significant or representative) sampling of containers. After all tests are completed, results may be tabulated and entered into the table/matrix, to provide an "adhesion" score. The associated score outcomes can then be correlated.
- the present invention can provide for improved recyclability.
- containers with digitally printed images (which may be formed by cured UV-curable ink) can be conveniently removed in connection with conventional plastic recycling processes.
- Industry standard recycling process of plastic containers conventionally include grinding containers into granulated plastic flakes, subjecting these flakes to a high-heat caustic wash process, drying the cleaned flakes, sorting, and extruding into resin pellets for resale.
- digital image on the container may remain with the resin flakes after the grinding process, the digital image will be substantially separated from the resin flakes during the high-heat caustic wash process, thereby not contaminating the clean resin flakes to be formed into resin pellets.
