A plastic, hot-fillable container is provided. The container comprises a blow molded body defining a longitudinal axis. The body including a base and a neck having at least one rib disposed about at least a portion of a circumference of the neck and transverse to the axis, and at least one angled thread. The at least one rib defining a cross section having a first portion and a second angled portion. Container systems and methods of manufacturing containers are disclosed.

A container body comprises a base, a side wall extending from the base and a neck portion arranged to engage a closure for the container body, wherein: (i) said container body includes a cyclic olefin copolymer (COC) and polyester; or (ii) said container body includes a polymethylpentene (PMP) and polyester; wherein, in both cases (i) and (ii), the side wall of the container body has an L* of at least 90 and the neck portion has an L* of at least 84.

In one embodiment, a method of processing a plastic container having a longitudinal axis is disclosed. The method includes: blow-molding a plastic container having an upper portion including a finish, a sidewall, a lower portion including a base defining a standing surface, and a substantially transversely oriented pressure panel having an inner annular wall and a central push-up portion located in the base, wherein a base mold portion is displaced longitudinally with respect to first and second side mold portions to form the pressure panel set above the standing surface; introducing heated liquid contents into the plastic container with the pressure panel located in an outwardly-inclined position entirely between the standing surface and the upper portion; capping the plastic container; and, moving the pressure panel to an inwardly-inclined position entirely between the standing surface and the upper portion.

The disclosure relates to light barrier compositions, methods of making the compositions, articles prepared from the compositions, and methods of making the articles. This abstract is intended as a scanning tool for purposes of searching in the particular art and is not intended to be limiting of the present invention.

A plastic container comprises an upper portion including a finish defining an opening into the container, a lower portion including a base defining a standing surface, a sidewall extending between the upper portion and the lower portion, the sidewall defining a longitudinal axis, and at least one substantially transversely-oriented pressure panel located in the lower portion. The pressure panel is movable between an outwardly-inclined position and an inwardly-inclined position to compensate for a change of pressure inside the container. The standing surface defines a standing plane, and the entire pressure panel is located between the standing plane and the upper portion of the container when the pressure panel is in the outwardly-inclined position.

A diluting dispenser assembly, including: a housing; a water input conduit; a high-flow output conduit; a low-flow output conduit; a high-flow dispensing actuator; a low-flow dispensing actuator; a container interface, wherein the container interface is adapted to releasably engage a container disclosed herein, and wherein the container interface includes a chemical input nozzle; and a container release member.

A glass vial includes a base including a boron-containing multicomponent glass and a vial opening and holds a liquid active pharmaceutical ingredient formulation. The glass vial has a total volume of <4.5 mL. A filling level of the glass vial with the active pharmaceutical ingredient formulation is not more than 0.25 and a concentration of boron ions, measured at a measurement site below a plane of a middle of the glass vial using a concentration depth profile at a depth in a range from 10 to 30 nm, has a value, averaged over the measurements of the concentration depth profile, that has an excess increase of not more than 30% compared to a concentration of boron ions measured using a concentration depth profile at a depth in a range from 10 to 30 nm with a measurement site in the plane of the middle of the glass vial.

The present invention relates to a novel customizable bottle or container. The outer surface of the bottle or container has a plurality of ridges, recesses or other delineations positioned around the outer surface. Each adjacent pair of ridges, recesses or other delineations creates a distinct region. A plurality of flexible or removable bands is provided with the bottle or container that are slid on distinct regions positioned between the ridges, recesses or other delineations. The flexible bands come in various colors and designs and decorate the distinct areas to personalize the bottle or container.

A system and associated method include a container having a top opening and a sidewall surface, and a lid configured to removably seal the top opening, where the lid is configured to removably attach via a friction fit to an opening or other formed holder in the sidewall surface. The holder may include one or more detents to facilitate the friction fit.

A container with a shell and lining within its interior is provided. The shell and/or lining can be fabricated from a biodegradable, recyclable, and/or compostable material. The lining can be configured as a parison, a preform, and/or other mass that is capable of being expanded. The lining can be inserted within a cavity of the shell and caused to expand to form an expanded state. The lining, in the expanded state, may be used as a barrier, preventing beverage that is inserted into the container from making contact with the shell. The lining, in the expanded state, may be configured to maintain contact with an inner surface of the shell so as to provide adequate shock absorption. The lining can be a thin film, providing an overall thinner construction and/or an overall lighter construction can be used to fabricate the container.
