Disposable plastics containers.

摘要

The insulation of a thin wall disposable plastics cup member 10 is improved by applying a band 15 of foamed resilient plastics material [e.g. foamed polyethylene] around the cup member in the region where the cup is gripped. The band has upper and lower sides of equal length in the unstressend condition before the band is applied to the container but the foamed plastics material is stretchable so that the band is a smooth fit over the frusto-conical portion of the cup member.
