Abstract

A container (10) with printed information, and in particular a disposable plastic bottle, comprises a hyperboloidic surface (32, 34) or a hyperboloidic-like surface, on which information has been printed by means of a printing technique using line contact between the surface to be printed on and the print transferring element. A container is consequently obtained, which has an agreeable external appearance and is pleasant to handle, and simultaneously it is particularly suited for mass production.
