Abstract
A method for applying a label to a container particularly suited for applying a polypropylene label to a polypropylene cup as it is moulded. The resultant container is made of a single type of plastic allowing it to be easily recycled. The mould used to produce the container has been designed to hold a label in place and stretch a portion of the label so it stays in place before injecting the plastic to form the container.
