<p>An article, such as a card (100) of thermoplastic material containing vials (102), is molded by a method and apparatus which deforms a portion of the mold flash (136) so as to form a reference surface (110). In a preferred embodiment, the article has a pair of lower walls (106) extending from a central wall (104) in a generally inverted V-shape configuration diverging from an apex which defines a downwardly facing reference surface (110) from which a predetermined reference position can be established for subsequent operations. A conveyor belt (400) can be employed to engage the reference surface and support the article at the reference position. <IMAGE></p> |
