Abstract
A method of forming a cap assembly comprises injection molding a cap in a first shot from a first polymeric material, wherein the cap has an opening at one end defined by a perimeter. Injection molding a tamper band in a second shot from a second polymeric material such that the tamper band is monolithically attached to the perimeter of the cap. The first polymeric material and the second polymeric material comprise dissimilar resins and the tamper band is configured to sever from the cap with no burrs remaining on the perimeter of the cap.
Claims15
A method of forming a cap assembly by a two-shot method, the method comprising:
- injection molding a cap in a first shot from a first polymeric material, wherein the cap has an opening at one end defined by a perimeter;
- and
- injection molding a tamper band in a second shot from a second polymeric material such that the tamper band is monolithically attached to the perimeter of the cap, the step of injection molding the tamper band providing a cap assembly,
- wherein the first polymeric material and the second polymeric material comprise dissimilar resins and wherein the tamper band is configured to sever from the cap with no burrs remaining on the perimeter of the cap.
A method of manufacturing a box assembly, the method comprising:
- forming a cap assembly comprising,
- injection molding a cap in a first shot from a first polymeric material, wherein the cap has an opening at one end defined by a perimeter, and
- injection molding a tamper band in a second shot from a second polymeric material such that the tamper band is monolithically attached to the perimeter of the cap to form the cap assembly;
- and
- applying a force to couple the cap assembly to a box,
- wherein the first polymeric material and the second polymeric material comprise dissimilar resins and wherein the tamper band is configured to sever from the cap with no burrs remaining on the perimeter of the cap.
