    Abstract: A printing module configured to print a label on a curved surface of an article includes an expandable printing mechanism configured to be expanded to an open configuration for receiving the article or contracted to a closed configuration placing the curved surface in an operative position with respect to a print head and an article moving assembly configured to grasp and hold the article and effect relative movement between the curved surface and the print head. The printing mechanism includes contact elements, such as rollers, that contact or otherwise engage the article when the printing mechanism is in the closed configuration and maintain the curved surface in the operative position with respect to the print head during relative movement between the curved surface and the print head.

    Abstract: A container includes a base with a top wall, a vessel depending from a top wall aperture in the top wall, a fluid retainer projecting above the top wall and surrounding the top wall aperture, and a skirt surrounding the vessel and including opposed grooves for gripping the container. A lid is disposed on a top end of the base and includes a cover wall with a lid aperture generally aligned with the top wall aperture of the base. A septum is disposed between the top wall of the base and the cover wall with a portion of the septum disposed between the lid aperture and the top wall aperture. Fluid retainer/return structure is configured to prevent fluid deposited on the septum from dripping off the container and to allow at least a portion of the fluid deposited on the septum to run off the septum and into the vessel.
