A container having enhanced wall integrity with a rotational element and a stacking feature is provided. The container includes a sidewall having an alignment structure formed along a height of the sidewall and an upper stacking shoulder formed above the alignment structure. The alignment structure is adapted for orienting the container with respect to a second container so that the alignment structures of the containers become parallel with one another and the containers may be fully nested one within the other. The alignment structure can be recessed into the sidewall to form peaks and valleys along an inner surface of the container. The upper stacking feature is formed into the sidewall of the container and includes a radially extending wall portion and an upwardly extending wall portion that together form a stacking corner. The stacking shoulder is provided above the alignment structure facilitates nesting of two containers when stacked together.

The invention provides for a dispenser package comprising a generally cylindrical container body and a cap removably mounted to the container body. The cap comprises a generally cylindrical cap body securable to an upper end of the container body. The cap body comprises a generally circular projecting portion having an outer circumferential surface and an upper surface that includes plural dispensing openings. A generally circular flip-up lid is connected to the cap body by a living hinge and being movable between a covering position and an open position.

Object to be held by a user, comprising: an external structure arranged to be held by the user, a thin-walled closed bottle made of plastic comprising a body defining an internal volume and a collar,
characterized: in that the external structure is a shell in contact with at least part of the body of the bottle, and in that the shell comprises an upper collar forming an open U or C and arranged to elastically interlock on at least part of the collar of the bottle.

Methods and apparatus for packaging and shipping wine. A shipping container includes: a vacuum molded base component having a plurality of cylindrical concave columns within which respective bottles are received; a substantially planar corrugated separator sheet having a plurality of receptors aligned with the axes of the columns and configured to slidably receive respective bottle necks associated with the bottles; a vacuum molded cap component for receiving the bottle necks therewithin; and an outer corrugated box within which the bottles, base component, separator, cap component components are securely disposed.

Bottle collar with a flange, the bottle comprising a body with a side wall and a shoulder arranged between the collar and the side wall, characterized in that the collar of the bottle comprises at least one protuberance, arranged: between the flange and the body, adjacent to the shoulder.

A liquid containing assembly includes a clamping device, a supplementary package and a positioning mechanism. The clamping device includes a first and second surrounding bodies rotatably connected to each other. A clamping space is formed when the first and second surrounding bodies are closed to each other. The supplementary package includes an accommodating body to accommodate liquid and an open tube connected to the accommodating body. The positioning mechanism includes a first positioning portion on a portion of the accommodating body adjacent to the open tube, a second positioning portion corresponding to the first positioning portion and is at least on one of the first and second surrounding bodies, a third positioning portion on the accommodating body, and a fourth positioning portion corresponding to the third positioning portion and at least on one of the first and second surrounding bodies.

A cartridge for storing and transporting fiber-bundle-based preform charges includes a plurality of cells arranged within the housing, wherein each cell is physically adapted to receive a preform charge and prevent it from moving therein as the cartridge is transported. In some embodiments, the cartridge and preform charges it conveys are serialized.

A product package, product packaging and method for maximizing retail merchandizing space for merchandizing products including a product package having an exterior width dimension, having a flange and having a hinge and positioned in the interior of a display case having an internal width dimension that is smaller than the exterior width dimension of the packages by bending the flange at the hinge to reduce the width of the packages to thereby fit within the interior of the display case.

A case for a flag that opens to form a base for the flag. The case is for an indoor/outdoor lighted stand in a box-like configuration that when opened provides a surface to securely hold poles that are two inches in diameter or smaller and twelve feet or less in overall height.

A container with a magnetic self-aligning sleeve includes a container that defines an interior receiving cavity with an opening at one end adapted to receive liquid or solid, and a base at an opposing end. The container additionally includes a sleeve defining a container receiving interior cavity with an opening at one end receiving the container, and a base at an opposing end. Of note, the container receiving cavity has an inside diameter that exceeds an outside diameter of the container. Finally, the container includes a first pair of magnetic arrays. A first one of the first pair of magnetic arrays has a primary polarity and is included with the base of the container. A second one of the first pair of magnetic arrays has a secondary polarity opposite the primary polarity and is included with the base of the sleeve.
