ABSTRACT:
A mold includes relatively movable mold sections which defines multiple cavities and a space between two of the mold sections when the mold is open. The plurality of flexible strips each carrying a heat responsive transfer material are directed through the space and are clamped adjacent the mold cavities when the mold is closed. A plastics material is injected into the cavities to form the articles and to engage the transfer material to form predetermined artwork on the articles within the cavities. When the mold is open, the articles are removed, the strips are pulled through the space to advance new transfer material to the mold cavities, and the cycle is repeated. In one embodiment, the strips carry the transfer material at longitudinally spaced intervals in the form of the desired artwork, and in another embodiment, the artwork is formed by a template attached to the movable mold section adjacent the cavities.
