A process includes forming a transfer film without a release layer in which the transfer film includes a substrate layer to be peeled off during a transfer process, and a transfer layer to be transferred to an article to be decorated. The transfer layer has a protective layer, a printed or vapor-deposited decorative layer, and an adhering layer, which are laminated in this order. The substrate layer is a base film of a synthetic resin formed by extruding a molten synthetic resin. The substrate layer is so laminated and thermally compressed in direct contact with the protective layer such that the substrate layer does not peel off the protective layer before the transfer process and peels off the protective layer from a peeled end portion of the substrate layer as a trigger during the transfer process, by thermally pressing the substrate layer and the protective layer between rolls.

Process for forming transfer film

The technical problem to be solved by this invention is to give the transfer film a laminar structure that gives no damage to the decorative layer and is resistant to impact, a long period of use, and extensive deformation caused by repeated squeezes. The objects of this invention are to provide the transfer film in which the decorativeness is never damaged by the cracking, abrasion, or peeling during the period of use and also to provide synthetic resin molded products decorated with this transfer film. The solution to the above-described technical problem is a transfer film comprising a base film of a synthetic resin, a protective film of another synthetic resin peelably laminated to the base film, an adhering layer to be adhered to an article to be decorated, and a printed or vapor-deposited decorative layer sandwiched between the protective film and the adhering layer.

The technical problem of this invention is to laminate the outer layer onto a main body of a tube, wherein a projecting portion or portions are formed, while maintaining certain uniformity. The object of this invention is to provide the laminated tube and molded tube products comprising the laminated tube, which shows the decorative effect, derived from the laminated outer layer, and enables the user to identify the tube only by touch. The outer layer is laminated onto the main body of the tube. By changing the number, width, or shape of the projecting portions, it is possible to give the decorative effect and identifiable features to the laminated tube. The laminated tube can be used to mold tube products, such as tubular containers and pouch containers.

Tube with projecting portion raised on tube surface

The technical problem of this invention is to establish a method of processing a synthetic resin tube, in which the shape of a part of the tube wall is changed to form easily an attractively hollowed and/or raised portion in a fairly wide area of the tube wall. The object of this invention is to provide a tubular container having excellent decorativeness, appearance, or functionality that has never been found before. A method of processing a synthetic resin tube comprises utilizing a mandrel having a mold portion, which has at least a shape selected from a hollowed shape, a raised shape, and a hollowed and raised shape formed in a part of outer surface of the mandrel, and which is also provided with small through-holes in this mold portion; inserting a bottomed cylindrical mandrel into a synthetic resin tube, while bringing the inner wall of the tube in contact with the mandrel; heating and softening the tube in the portion facing the mold portion; deaerating the tube via a central opening and the through-holes to mold the softened portion of the tube in a manner similar to vacuum molding; and forming in the tube wall at least one of the portions selected from a hollowed portion, a raised portion, and a hollowed and raised portion.

Method of processing a synthetic resin tube, and tubular container

The object of this invention is to provide a multi-partitioned body of a tubular container, in which inner space is divided by a partition wall or walls into multiple compartments disposed in a row. Technically, such a multi-partitioned body of a tubular container can be manufactured in a single molding operation, at a low cost, and in as few production steps as possible, causing no seam that spoils the appearance of the multi-partitioned tubular body and allowing the lower end of the body of a tubular container to be pressed flat in a uniform thickness. The tubular body comprises the inner layerand the outer layerunpeelably laminated with each other over some peripheral length or lengths in a certain range or ranges of the ring cross-section. The inner layercan be broken away from the outer layerto form a partition wall or wallsthat divide the inner spaceof the tubular body into compartments.
