Abstract: A blow molded container includes an identification device at least partially embedded in a wall of the container. The container has a bottom wall having a periphery and a concave shape that extends generally inwardly into the container and a sidewall surrounding the bottom wall and extending generally upwardly from the periphery. A capsule is at least partially embedded in one of the bottom wall and the sidewall and an identification device is completely enclosed within the capsule. An entire exterior surface of the capsule is surrounded by one of the bottom wall and the sidewall of the container.

Abstract: An apparatus for inserting labels into the blow mold cavity of an injection-blow molding machine, which includes a carriage, a label transfer mechanism on the carriage which is made up of a label holder on a curvilinear translator mechanism, and a mechanism for moving the carriage reciprocally. Also, a method for labeling containers, formed in an injection blow molding machine in which the blow mold opens before the injection mold and a label is inserted into the blow mold cavity during the resulting hiatus before parison transfer.
