Abstract

Disclosed is a labeled molded container having a container main body and a label, wherein a label surface is provided with a flat portion, a concave-convex pattern, and an edge portion between the convex portion or concave portion and the flat portion, and wherein when observing the labeled molded container from a surface-side thereof by illuminating light from a backside of the container, the edge portion is seen brighter than the flat portion and the concave-convex pattern.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A labeled molded container having a container main body and a label,
wherein a label surface is provided with a flat portion, a concave-convex pattern including a convex portion or a concave portion, and an edge portion between the convex portion or concave portion and the flat portion,
wherein when observing the labeled molded container from a surface-side thereof by illuminating light from a backside of the container, the edge portion is seen brighter than the flat portion and the concave-convex pattern and
wherein a void decrease ratio expressed by the following relationship is 15% to 99%, (1−N 12 /N 11 )×100
where N 11 is a number of interface voids in a thickness direction on a convex portion apex surface or on a concave portion bottom surface, and N 12 is a number of interface voids in a thickness direction at the edge portion.

2. The labeled molded container according to claim 1 , wherein the label consists of a biaxially stretched layer or a biaxially stretched layer and an unstretched layer.

3. The labeled molded container according to claim 1 , wherein a wall of the container and the label are integrated to comprise the convex portion or the concave portion.

4. The labeled molded container according to claim 1 , wherein the void decrease ratio is equal to or higher than 30%.

5. The labeled molded container according to claim 1 , wherein the void decrease ratio is equal to or higher than 50%.

6. The labeled molded container according to claim 1 , wherein the void decrease ratio is equal to or higher than 65%.

7. The labeled molded container according to claim 1 , wherein the void decrease ratio is equal to or less than 96%.

8. The labeled molded container according to claim 1 , wherein the void decrease ratio is equal to or less than 90%.

9. The labeled molded container according to claim 1 , wherein the void decrease ratio is equal to or greater than 65% and equal to or less than 90%.

10. The labeled molded container according to claim 1 , wherein the concave-convex pattern and the edge portion are provided so as to correspond to design indicia of the label.

11. The labeled molded container according to claim 10 , wherein the edge portion defines a peripheral edge of the design indicia of the label.

12. The labeled molded container according to claim 1 , wherein the convex portion includes an apex portion and an inclined portion, the apex portion and the inclined portion being connected by a connection portion, the connection portion being translucent.

13. The labeled molded container according to claim 1 , wherein the concave portion includes a bottom surface portion and an inclined portion, the bottom surface portion and the inclined portion being connected by a connection portion, the connection portion being translucent.

14. A labeled molded container having a container main body and a label,
wherein a label surface is provided with a flat portion, a concave-convex pattern including a concave portion or a concave portion, and an edge portion between the convex portion or the concave portion and the flat portion,
wherein, when observing the label molded container from a surface side thereof by illuminating light from a backside of the container, the edge portion is seen brighter than the flat portion and the concave-convex portion, and
wherein the concave-convex pattern and the edge portion are provided so as to correspond to design indicia of the label and the edge portion defines a peripheral edge of the design indicia of the label.

15. The labeled molded container according to claim 14 , wherein the convex portion includes an apex portion and an inclined portion, the apex portion and the inclined portion being connected by a connection portion, the connection portion being translucent.

16. The labeled molded container according to claim 14 , wherein the concave portion includes a bottom surface portion and an inclined portion, the bottom surface portion and the inclined portion being connected by a connection portion, the connection portion being translucent.

17. The labeled molded container according to claim 14 , wherein the label consists of a biaxially stretched layer or a biaxially stretched layer and an unstretched layer.

18. The labeled molded container according to claim 14 , wherein a wall of the container and the label are integrated to comprise the convex portion or the concave portion.
