Abstract: A bottle (1) comprising an envelop (2) defining a housing, said bottle being molded from at least one thermoplastic polymer of at least one FuranDiCarboxylic Acid (FDCA) monomer, preferably 2,5-FuranDiCarboxylic Acid (2,5-FDCA) monomer, and at least one diol monomer, preferably monoethylene glycol (MEG) monomer, wherein the envelop is provided with at least one imprint (10a, 10b).

Abstract: A blow molded bottle (1): a) which is self-collapsible during its emptying; b) which comprises at least two transversal grooves and/or ribs (6.1), preferably located in the tubular body portion (6), equipped with collapse starters (6.2); c) wherein the mean wall thickness (Tmean) of the tubular body portion (6) is—in an increasing order of preference—less than or equal to 200; 180; 160; 150 ?m; preferably comprised between 65 and 150; and more preferably comprised between 90 and 130 ?m. The invention also discloses a method, a preform (100) and a mold for the manufacture of the aforementioned container by blow molding. The invention also discloses a method for bottling liquid into the bottles (1), a method for dispensing the liquid, a dispenser for implementing the method and a method for packing the thin-walled bottles, in view of storage and transportation.

Abstract: The invention concerns a packaging set (1-100) of two plastic PET bottles (2a-2b), bundled by a heat retracted plastic sleeve 4, wherein a promotional article 3 is nested in a central recess which is formed by the gathering of two recesses 14, which are respectively designed in the wall of the bottles (2a-2b) of the packaging set 1. At least part of both recesses (14) of bottles (2a-2b), particularly the back of each recess (14) is in contact with the article (3), as the two bottles (2a-2b) are maintained compressed against each other by means of the heat retracted sleeve (4).

Abstract: The invention pertains to self collapsable blow moulded plastic thin-walled PET bottle (1) manufactured by Injection moulding of a preform (100), as well as Stretching, Blowing and Moulding (ISBM) of said preform (100). Said container (1) having: a top part (2,3,4,5); a tubular body portion (6); and a bottom structure (7) opposite to the top part (2,3,4,5); preferably a bottle (1), notably for beverages, is characterized: a) in that it is self-collapsable during its emptying; b) in that it comprises at least two transversal grooves and/or ribs (6.1), preferably located in the tubular body portion (6), optionally with at least some of them being each equipped with at least 2, preferably at least 4, and more preferably between 4 and 8 collapse starters (6.

Abstract: An injecting/blowing device includes a mold for injecting a thin-walled hollow preform capable of being transformed into a more voluminous hollow body. The mold includes a counter mold defining a cavity, a cure located in the cavity, and a preform impression located between the counter mold inner surface and the core which will receive the melt, at least two main preferential flow channels or at least two secondary preferential flow channels having a recessed zone at the surface of the core and the inner surface of the cavity. The main flow channels are located only at the impression zone corresponding to the zone for transforming the preform, and in the optional secondary flow channels are flow channels discontinuous from the main flow channel.

Abstract: A plastic bottle includes: a body which extends longitudinally along a central axis from the neck to the lower end thereof and which has a pre-determined thickness, and a base (2) including an apron (3) which is connected to the lower end of the body and which extends to a peripheral bearing area. In addition, a dome (7) extends from the peripheral bearing area to the apex (7a) located essentially on the central axis and grooves (9) extend radially between the apron and the dome, the grooves having a base line (9a). The direction of the base lines (9a) of the grooves forms a sharp angle with the direction tangential to the dome (7) at the point (9d) at which the base of the grooves (9) opens into the dome (7).

Abstract: The invention concerns an injecting/blowing device comprising at least one mold for injecting a thin-walled hollow preform capable of being transformed into a more voluminous hollow body by blowing, said mold including a counter mold defining the inner surface of the cavity, a cure located in the cavity and spaced apart from said inner surface, a preform impression located between the counter mold inner surface and the core, and which will receive the melt, at least two main preferential flow channels (CEP) optionally at least two secondary preferential flow channels (CEP), each CEP being delimited by at least one recessed zone at the surface of the core and the inner surface of the cavity.

Abstract: Plastic bottle including a body (9) extending along a central axis (Z) that includes a lower portion (3) with a substantially constant cross section; followed by a gripping portion (4); and terminated by an upper portion (5) with a substantially constant section and arranged to correspond with the cross section of the lower portion. The gripping portion (4) includes two globally plane gripping panels (41) arranged to be parallel to each other and to the central axis (Z) at a distance convenient for gripping with the hands. These panels have at least one reinforcing relief (44; 45) extending in a transverse plane, and are connected to each other by connecting panels (42) extending along the lower portion (3) and the upper portion (5), through rounded angles located at the circumferential ends of the panels.
