Abstract: A method and a device for scrap-free manufacture of coated profiles and thermoformed containers.A hollow pipe having a cross-section suitable for the desired profile is extruded.The extruded hollow profile is cut longitudinally.Thereafter the profile is planar laminated by a web formed material having desired characteristics.The cut, laminated profile thereafter is formed into the original shape thereof, or another suitable shape, and is formed into container casings.When thermoforming containers, a hollow profile is extruded from a thermoformable material in an extruder, this hollow profile is cut, in one or several longitudinal cuts. In web or roller form such cut profile is supplied to a so called scrap-free thermoforming machinery, where the thermoformed containers are manufactured.

Abstract: The invention relates to the covering with sheet material of flexible symmetrical angulate tubes, especially components of packages. By utilizing the resilient cross-sectional deformability of the tubes, there is provided a method and apparatus where the tube is mounted onto a cylindrical mandrel having a circumference corresponding essentially to the inner circumference of the tube and thereafter applying the sheet material around essentially the entire circumference of the tube.
