Described herein is a stackable/nested container assembly. The assembly is comprised of a plurality of containers having a shape configured to be cooperatively nested and stacked together with an upper portion received within an external cavity of a lower portion. The upper portion of the containers including a locking indent and a locking bump to form redundant and cohesive locking mechanism for the nested receipt of cooperating containers.

A method for decorating a translucent container including cleaning an exterior surface of the container and applying a silver layer to the exterior surface followed by a black layer applied over the silver layer. Portions of the silver and black layers are selectively removed to form one or more shapes using a laser. A translucent protective layer is applied over the entire exterior of the container.

The invention relates to a coating apparatus also called coating tunnel or coating hood for applying a protective coating to hollow glass containers. In particular it relates to a coating apparatus also called coating tunnel or coating hood with a guidance plate for the carrier gas comprising a coating compound for applying the protective coatings to glass containers. The present invention also relates to a coating apparatus also called coating tunnel or coating hood with a guidance plate installed between the inner side wall and the outer wall of the tunnel where the conveyer belt with the containers is passing by.

An improved method for molding a plastic container within a mold including an RFID tag to generate a container which leaves a mold having an RFID tag bonded between the container and a label. This method provides for an improved integrally, extrusion blow molded container, label and RFID tag combination.

A protective bottle enclosure includes a container having a neck, a shoulder, and a body, wherein the neck includes a plurality of threaded portions and a plurality of planar portions located intermediate the plurality of threaded portions. The enclosure further includes a removable cap from which extends a first threaded portion and a second threaded portion, the first and second threaded portions being located along opposing sides of the sidewall, and a first planar portion and a second planar portion disposed adjacent and between the first and second threaded portions. The first and second threaded portions of the cap are aligned with the plurality of planar portions along the neck when the cap is axially inserted into the container.

Glass decanters and protective shells for glass decanters are described herein. An example apparatus includes a glass decanter and a protective shell including a first shell portion and a second shell portion couplable with the first shell portion. When the first and second shell portions are coupled, the first and second shell portions form a cavity in which the decanter is to be disposed and which completely encases the decanter.

A snow-themed bottle comprising a middle portion located between a top and a bottom portion is described. An outer surface of the middle portion includes a first transparent viewing window located on a first side. The outer surface includes a slot component affixed to a second side disposed opposite the first side, the slot component housing a theme card. A hollow inner shell is disposed inside the outer surface where the inner shell houses a clear fluid, an ornament affixed to the bottom portion, and a plurality of particles. A second transparent viewing window is affixed to an inside portion of the hollow inner shell at the second side such that a user may view a front of the theme card through the first transparent viewing window and a back of the theme card through the second transparent viewing window.

Powder coating compositions, particularly metal packaging powder coating compositions, coated metal substrates, and methods; wherein the powder coating compositions include powder polymer particles comprising a polymer having a number average molecular weight of at least 2000 Daltons, wherein the powder polymer particles have a particle size distribution having a D50 of less than 25 microns; and, in certain embodiments, one or more charge control agents in contact with the powder polymer particles.

A beverage sleeve assembly for thermally insulating a beverage container includes a panel that is formed into a cylinder for positioning around a beverage container. The panel has a first layer that is comprised of a thermally insulating material to inhibit thermal communication between the first layer and the beverage container. The panel has a second layer that is comprised of a fluid absorbent material to inhibit a user's hands from getting wet when holding the beverage container.

An individual beverage bottle, with added convenience features making the bottle easy to open, and provides features to customize, personalize, and/or share in a very hygienic manner and providing a mechanism to secure a cup to the bottle such that an otherwise ordinary cup adapts and screws onto existing beverage containers that can be used to share the beverage or just be able to drink from a cup rather than directly from the bottle wherein, existing bottles can be utilized with very little, if any, extra footprint and minimal retooling. A proprietary labeling system is adapted to the bottle and cup.
