<p>Articles such as plastics containers (1) for packaging are given a precisely-controlled band of barrier coating material (80) by a moving donor belt (4) or a rotating wheel, the material having been first applied to the belt or wheel, e.g. by a jet (12) such that excess material is removed before application to the articles. The remainder of the article can then be coated if desired by another method.</p> |
