Abstract
Disclosed is a method for manufacturing packaging including a container. The method includes: an operation of forming the container via blow molding or stretch blow molding from a plastics preform, an operation of treating an inner surface of the container, during which a thin barrier layer is formed on the inner surface via plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition; an operation of printing on an outer surface of the container, during which ink is deposited on the outer surface to form a decorative and/or informative inscription thereon.
Claims15
Method for manufacturing a packaging (2) comprising a container (3), with the method comprising:
- forming the container (3) by blow molding or stretch blow molding from a preform (4) made of plastic;
- printing an outer surface (13) of the container (3), during which an ink is deposited directly onto the outer surface (13) to form thereon a decorative and/or informative inscription (43), wherein the printing is carried out by ink jet or laser;
- and
- treating, between the forming and printing, an inner surface (12) of the container (3) with a layer of plasma-assisted chemical vapor deposition, the layer having sufficient thickness to form a barrier between the inner surface (12) and contents of the container (3).
