Apparatus for coating the bottom rim surface (82) of a container (10) using a vacuum conveyor (20) for holding and transporting a plurality of empty containers (10) with the bottom rim surfaces (82) exposed so that the bottom rim surfaces (82) may be passed over a coating applicator roll (88) and through a curing oven (60) to provide the bottom rim surfaces with a cured coating and wherein the vacuum conveyor (20) is wide enough so that a plurality of the bottom rim surfaces (82) may be coated at the same time and then passed through the curing oven (60). Also, the durometer of the application roll (88) can be varied so as to apply a coating of uniform thickness or a coating of varying thickness.
