Abstract

The method for placing a label on an item of packaging molded from natural fibers includes carrying out the following successive operations. The method includes turning over the packaging, with the opening directed downward, holding the packaging from the inside, positioning and holding the label above the packaging, driving the packaging in movement and bringing the outside of its bottom into contact with the label, stopping holding the label, indexing and securing the label in a spotwise fashion on the bottom, moving the packaging and positioning the bottom thereof next to means for activating a securing process, bringing the bottom and the label into contact with the activation means, activating the process of securing the label, and removing the labeled packaging.

Abstract

The method for placing a label (2) on an item of packaging (1) moulded from natural fibres consists in carrying out the following successive operations: - turning over the packaging (1), with the opening directed downward, - holding the packaging (1) from the inside, - positioning and holding the label (2) above the packaging (2), - driving the packaging (1) in movement and bringing the outside of its bottom into contact with the label (2), - stopping holding the label (2), - indexing and securing the label (2) in a spotwise fashion on the bottom, - moving the packaging (1) and positioning the bottom thereof next to means for activating a securing process, - bringing the bottom and the label (2) into contact with the activation means, - activating the process of securing the label (2), - removing the labelled packaging (1).

Abstract

According to an extrusion-blow-moulding method: a parison (3) is extruded, - a clamp (11) comprising a mould (111) is closed around the parison (3), a cavity of the mould (111) containing at least one sheet (5), and a first blow-moulded object held by a blow-moulding pipe (13) is picked up again by the clamp (11), - the clamp (11) is transferred along a first level (A), - the blow-moulding pipe (13) is inserted onto one end of the parison (3) in order to blow-mould it in the mould (111) and form a second blow-moulded object (4b), the sheet (5) being integrated into the first blow-moulded object (4a), - the mould (111) is opened, keeping the second object held on the blow-moulding pipe (13), and the first blow-moulded object (4a) is released on a first discharge system (15), - the blow-moulded object is transferred from the first level (A) to a second level (B).
