Abstract: A method for producing an elastomeric component, preferably an elastomeric sealing component, including an elastomer body and a printed structure, preferably a printed electronic structure or circuit, on a surface of the elastomer body. The method includes: a. providing a planar foil of thermoplastic material having a printable surface; b. printing a structure onto the printable surface to obtain the printed structure; c. providing an elastomer substrate for forming the elastomer body; d. placing the planar foil with the printed structure onto the elastomer substrate; and e. laminating the combined planar foil and elastomer substrate by applying heat and pressure. The elastomeric component is obtained in that the elastomer substrate is formed to the shape of the elastomer body before step d); the elastomer substrate is formed to the shape of the elastomer body during lamination; or the elastomer substrate is formed to the shape of the elastomer body after lamination.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a beverage capsule with an outer sealing ring comprised of elastic material involves the following steps: (a) providing a capsule body with a peripheral, flange-like edge for attaching a sealing film; (b) providing a sealing ring comprised of elastic material and adjusted to the flange-like edge; (c) placing the sealing ring and the capsule body in a capsule mount of a sealing device for sealing the capsule body with the sealing film, with the sealing ring arranged between the capsule mount and the flange-like edge of the capsule body; (d) filling the capsule body with a beverage substrate; and sealing the capsule body with the sealing film and simultaneously fastening the sealing ring to the flange-like edge using the sealing device.
