Abstract

Methods and structures are shown for a variety of ways to arrange a label in a mould cavity. One is a method for arranging a label in a mould cavity of a mould, which mould cavity is delimited by an internal peripheral surface that defines a first axial axis of the mould cavity, the method comprising: providing a mandrel having a peripheral wall that defines an axial direction and a peripheral direction, wherein the peripheral wall further defines a second axial axis, the peripheral wall being provided with: a peripheral part having a shape that substantially corresponds to a shape of a part of the internal peripheral surface of the mould cavity, and a non-convex part that extends in the axial direction of the peripheral wall of the mandrel, arranging the label around the peripheral wall of the mandrel, which label comprises a first side edge part and a second side edge part, in which the label is arranged around the peripheral wall of the mandrel in such a manner that the second side edge part overlaps the first side edge part viewed in the peripheral direction of the mandrel at a location of the non-convex part of the peripheral wall of the mandrel, introducing the mandrel with the label arranged around the peripheral wall thereof into the mould cavity, transferring the label from the peripheral wall of the mandrel to the internal peripheral surface of the mould cavity, wherein the mandrel and the mould are arranged with respect to one another in such a manner during transfer of the label from the peripheral wall of the mandrel to the internal peripheral surface of the mould cavity, that the first axial axis of the internal peripheral surface of the mould cavity and the second axial axis of the peripheral wall of the mandrel are eccentric with respect to one another.
