ABSTRACT:
A printing machine for applying printed matter to the outside of dished articles, particularly plastics containers for packaging food stuffs, of non-circular cross-section has a rotary printing drum associated with a revolving head, with supports for the articles, arranged to be indexed past the printing drum and is characterised by each support having an arbor which is operative to support an article throughout the printing operation and at least one additional arbor spaced therefrom and displaceable between an operative position in which it also supports the article and an inoperative position in which it does not support the article. A vacuum, applied through a frontal aperture in the first-mentioned arbor may be provided to assist in retaining the articles on their supports. Alternatively or additionally the articles may be held on to their supports by means of rollers acting on the outside of the articles.
