A self-standing packaging container capable of achieving both strength and disposability even if the container has a wide mouth is provided. A container according to the present invention includes: a container body that has an opening part at an upper end of a tubular member; an annular member that is bonded to the upper end of the tubular member; and a lid member that seals the opening part to be openable and closable. The container body has a bottom surface member that is bonded to the tubular member at a bottom surface part of the tubular member. The tubular member is constituted by a flexible laminated body of three or more layers including a barrier layer and a resin layer. The lid member is coupled to the annular member by any of a hinge, fitting, and a screw to be openable and closable.

An invented container closure system includes a first side having one or more keys, which are pieces of material shaped to stick out from a substantively smooth container or cap shape, and a corresponding second side having one or more gaps in a ledge, such that if and only if the cap is turned to the correct position relative to the container, the keys fit through the gaps and are not blocked by the ledge, and the first side may be uncoupled from the second side. Additionally, one or more flexible nubs may be positioned beneath the ledge of the second side such that channels indented into the outward surface edges of the keys of the first side fit around the nubs, allowing the nubs to laterally traverse through the channels when the sides are coupled together.

A plastic intermediate article including a container portion and a trim portion. The container portion includes a neck portion having a plurality of threads. In embodiments, each of the plurality of threads include a first portion and a second portion, wherein the first portion is provided at a first angle relative to a centerline of the plastic blow molded intermediate article, the second portion is provided at a second angle relative to the centerline of the plastic blow molded intermediate article, and the first angle and second angle are different. A method for making a plastic container includes providing a plastic preform, blow molding the preform into an intermediate article that includes a neck portion with a plurality of blown threads, and removing an upper portion of the intermediate article.

A container defining a longitudinal axis and a transverse direction that is transverse with respect to the longitudinal axis. The container includes a finish and a sidewall portion extending from the finish. A plurality of ribs are defined by the sidewall. A base portion extends from the sidewall portion and encloses the sidewall portion to form a volume therein for retaining a commodity. The base portion has a contact surface for supporting the container. A plurality of straps extend radially along the base portion away from the longitudinal axis in the transverse direction, each one of the straps defines a strap surface that is closer to the finish than the contact surface. The plurality of ribs and the base portion are configured to place the container in a state of hydraulic charge-up when top load is applied to the container after the container is filled.

A container may comprise a tubular body having a rounded sidewall extending between a closed end defining a base portion and an opposite open end surrounded by a rim portion, and one or more sets of grooves defined within the vertical portion of the rounded sidewall. The base portion is configured to support the container in an upright orientation relative to a support surface and wherein the base portion defines a support ring having an at least substantially rounded perimeter. The rounded sidewall comprises a curved base transition region and a vertical portion extending between the perimeter of the base portion and the rim portion along a central axis. Each of the grooves comprises a length and a width, wherein the length is longer than the width. The grooves extend between the base portion and the rim portion along the length.

A packaging system and methods for the preservation of volatile chemicals in a product containing volatile chemicals is disclosed. The packaging system generally has one compartment adapted for the storage of the volatiles containing product in communication with a second compartment which contains a source of volatile chemicals such that the volatile chemicals disperse into the first compartment. The make up of the volatile chemicals in the second compartment are selected either to match the naturally occurring volatile chemicals in the product to be packaged or to complement the naturally occurring volatile chemicals in the product to be packaged. In this way, the naturally occurring volatiles content of the product can be preserved or odors and flavors that do not naturally occur within the product can be added. In some case, the product to be packaged is cannabis.
