IN-MOLD LABELED CONTAINERS AND MOLDING PROCESS FOR PRODUCTION THEREOF

摘要

The objects of this invention are to set a predetermined height position for the portion of parison or preform that is the first to come in contact with body molding planes of a split mold and to prevent air from being trapped between in-mold labels and the container which is blow molded from the parison or the preform. In-mold labels 7 are fixed to the entire outer surface of body 4 of main container 1. An annular thinnest wall portion 4a is formed in the wall of the body 4 so that the thinnest wall portion 4a is the first to come in contact with the body molding planes 14 of a split mold 13. Under this construction, no bulge of air is formed between the body 4 and the in-mold labels 7 fixed to the entire surface of the body 4.
