Integrally, extrusion blow molded container, label and RFID tag

A method for forming a plastic container which is attached to an electrical signal generator during an extrusion blow molding process, the method comprising:

• providing a mold having at least two portions which are moveable between open and closed positions, wherein when the portions are in the closed position the mold defines an interior surface;
• attaching an electrical signal generator to a container label;
• supporting the container label with a vacuum cup;
• moving the vacuum cup to locate the label and electrical signal generator in the mold when the portions are in the open position, the generator being fabricated from materials to retain its signal generating functionality after being heated over 420° F. degrees, the generator being fabricated to be compliable with the interior surface of the mold and the generator having first and second sides coated with a heat activatable adhesive;
• extruding a heated parison having at least one interior layer of plastic material and an outside layer of plastic material, the interior layer defining an interior in communications with an inflation port;
• closing the mold;
• and
• pressurizing the parison to expand the parison into contact with the generator, the label and the interior surface to form an outside surface of the combination of the container, label and generator which has a shape generated by the shape of the interior surface, heat in the mold activating the adhesive to fasten the generator between the outside layer of plastic material and the label.
