Some embodiments of the present disclosure include a mandrel system for creating a stamp on multiple receptacles. Some embodiments of the method include performing a step in the stamping process on a single receptacle while simultaneously performing another step in the stamping process on a second receptacle. The mandrel system may include a rotating mandrel system for rotating the mandrels that hold the receptacles to various positions, where the positions may be aligned with certain steps, such as heating, stamping, or cooling a portion of the receptacle. Some embodiments include a reversible lid including a fastening mechanism to fasten the lid in at least two configurations. In some embodiments, one side of the lid can be used to stack receptacles and the other side of the lid can be used to hold objects in slots and be used as a seat. 1. A method for creating a detail on receptacles using a stamp of a mandrel system , the method comprising:loading, by the mandrel system, a first receptacle onto a first mandrel of the mandrel system;aligning, by an actuator of the mandrel system, the first receptacle with a heat pad such that desired portion of the first receptacle can be heated by the heat pad;heating, by the heat pad of the mandrel system, the desired portion of the first receptacle, wherein material of the heated portion of the first receptacle softens;stamping, by a stamp of the mandrel system, at least a subset of the heated portion of the first receptacle; andcooling, by a cooling system of the mandrel system, at least a subset of the stamped portion of the first receptacle, wherein during at least one of the aligning, heating, stamping, or cooling of the first receptacle, a second receptacle on a second mandrel of the mandrel system is simultaneously aligning, heating, stamping, or cooling.2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first and second receptacle are loaded into the first and second mandrel simultaneously.3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the ...
