Abstract:
The invention relates to a method of providing board containers (V) with prints and a printing machine that applies the method. According to the invention, the printing machine comprises a turret head (2), with uniformly spaced radial arms (3) diverging from its rotational axis, each arm ending in a mandrel (4) that carries a container (1); and stationary stations (5, 6, 8) that are located on the path of the turret head for gripping a container, printing it by a printhead (7, 13), and removing the printed container (V). At the printing station (6), the container (1) is digital-printed by the printhead (7), past which the surface of the container is conveyed by means of a rotational motion. The container can be a conical drinking cup (1), which is ink-jet printed by the stationary printhead (7) by rotating the cup by 360° by means of the mandrel (4) that is pushed inside the cup. The cups (1) can be produced at a plant in mass-scale production runs and divided into smaller lots, which are delivered to customers and which the customers then print according to their own individual needs.

The invention relates to a mould system (1) for manufacturing a container (500) and comprising a movable mould half (10) and a stationary mould half (20), which mould halves (10 and 20) are located opposite to each other; the mould system (1) can be used to manufacture the container (500), which comprises a bottom (57) pressed from a cardboard blank, walls (59) connected to the said bottom (57) and a rim (50) that is at least partly cast of plastic and connected to the upper edge of the walls (59), encircling the walls, whereby the mould half (10) that is movable with respect to the stationary mould half (20) includes at least a core plate (4) provided with a core (41), a plate-like seal ring (5) that is movable with respect to the core (41) and comprises a seal surface (5a) and surrounds the core (41), and a collar ring (6) that is movable with respect to the core (41) and the seal ring (5) and can be fitted between the same; and the stationary mould half (20) includes at least a mould plate (7) provided with a mould cavity (71) and a seal surface (7a). In the mould system (1), an insert (9 and/or 612), which changes the function of the said seal surface or collar ring at the casting stage of the plastic rim, can be detachably attached to the seal surface (5a) of the seal ring (5) and/or the collar (61) of the collar ring (6), which insert can also be used to change the dimensions of the basic rim (50) of the container (500) or to provide the surface of the said basic rim (50) with bulges extending upwards from the rest of its plane or with grooves that are lower than the rest of the plane of the surface (50), or to form projections (55), which protrude further from the outer edge of the basic rim (50) of the container (500) and which possibly comprise suspension means (56), such as openings.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a mould system (1) for manufacturing a cardboard-based container, comprising a movable mould half (10) and a stationary mould half (20), which are located opposite to each other, the mould system (1) enabling the manufacture of a container (500) that comprises a bottom (57) pressed from a cardboard blank and walls (59) connected to the bottom, and a rim (50) that is at least partly cast of plastic and connected to the upper edge of the walls, encircling the walls, whereby the mould half (10) that is movable with respect to the stationary mould half (20) includes at least a core plate (4) provided with a core (41), a plate-like seal ring (5), which is movable with respect to the core (41) and comprises a seal surface (5a) and surrounds the core (41), and a collar ring (6), which can be adapted between the core (41) and the seal ring (5) and by which the rim (50) can be made on the container and which can be moved with respect to both the seal ring (5) and the core (41); and the stationary mould half (40) includes at least a mould plate (7) that is provided with a mould cavity (71) and a seal surface (7a). In the mould system (1) according to the invention, an insert (720) can be supported on and detachably attached to the base (71b) of the mould cavity (71) reducing the depth H of the mould cavity by its height h, so that the continuous surface (71b) of the insert (720) works as the new bottom (71b) of the mould cavity and that the length H of the part of the core (41) that penetrates inside the mould cavity sat the pressing stage of the cardboard blank can be shortened, respectively, by the height h of the insert, either by replacing the core (41) on the core plate with a shorter one or by detachably attaching to the basic part (41g) of the core (41), the length of which does not change an attachment part (41 f), the length of which can be changed, whereby the core or the attachments of the core and the inserts (720) of the base of the mould cavity, which correspond to each other, can be used to change the depth of the cardboard blank that is manufactured, i.e., the distance of the container bottom (57), which is pressed from the cardboard blank, from the upper edges of the container walls (59).
