Patent ID: 7140857

Claim:
A mold for creating a molded plastic resin container cover having a skirting that displays an in-mold label comprising: a pan area; a recess in said pan area comprising a nesting ring defining the perimeter of the pan area; at least one side wall area comprising a skirting; a label ledge formed between said nesting ring recess and said side wall, said label ledge located proximate an upper edge of said side wall for receiving a label; wherein when a label is placed in the mold a leading edge of the label abuts the ledge and further wherein when liquid resin is injected into said mold to form the cover, the ledge guides the resin onto an inward side of the label and is substantially prevented from acting upon the leading edge of the label thus substantially preventing the label from being displaced in the mold such that substantially no resin flows between the label and the mold.
