A method for manufacturing a packaging container, the method comprising the steps of:
- molding an article having a selected configuration and including a body defining a volume, a neck and a dome;
- trimming the article to remove the dome to form a finished container;
- aligning the finished container with a device having at least one heated rib;
- and
- engaging the at least one heated rib with the neck to form at least one vent,
- wherein the device defines a central longitudinal axis and the at least one heated rib includes an increasing height extending from an outer end of the at least one heated rib toward the central longitudinal axis.
A method for manufacturing a packaging container, the method comprising the steps of:
- molding an article having a selected configuration and including a body defining a volume, a neck having a sealing surface and a dome;
- trimming the article to remove the dome to form a finished container;
- transferring the finished container to a device along a linear path via a feed-screw and a conveyor, the device having a plurality of heated ribs and an actuator configured to move the plurality of ribs;
- aligning the sealing surface with the plurality of ribs;
- and
- engaging the plurality of ribs with the sealing surface to form a plurality of vents,
- wherein the device defines a central longitudinal axis and the plurality of heated ribs each include an increasing height extending from an outer end of a respective one of the plurality of heated ribs toward the central longitudinal axis.
