The invention comprises a method and apparatus for holding a Cannabis product, such as a soda or a beverage, comprising: a container comprising a cavity at least partially enclosed within a base and at least one side extending upwards from the base; an emulsion in the cavity, the emulsion comprising at least: water and tetrahydrocannabinol; and a label on the at least one side, the label comprising a set of at least three graphical serving size indicators correspondingly positioned at at least three differing vertical locations from the base, where a mean particle size of the beverage is preferably less than one thousand nanometers in diameter.

The present application provides a filling line for filling a container with one of a number of different beverages. The filling line may include a water circuit with a counter-pressure nozzle to fill the container with carbonated water and one or more micro-ingredient towers with a number of micro-ingredients therein positioned downstream of the counter-pressure nozzle to fill the container with the micro-ingredients.

Overvarnished aluminum cans which are not usable because of label graphic errors or other reasons are conditioned for reuse by first treating the existing overvarnish to accept an opaque new layer of overvarnish. The opening of the can is engaged with a plug having a pin communicating with a pressurized gas supporting the can on a wheel to supply gas pressure according to the rotational position of the pin. The overvarnished can is pressurized to allow printing an opaque new layer of overvarnish on to the can over the existing overvarnish. The treated can is visually inspected and the internal coating resprayed, and the opaque overvarnish and the internal coating are cured in a final curing oven, the can being then ready for printing of new graphics or sold as a brite, silver or blank can where other graphics can be applied.

Provided is a bottle which includes a neck portion configured to receive a cap to seal the bottle, a lower portion including a bottom on which the bottle is configured to stand erect, an upper portion extending from the neck portion to the lower portion and an annular rib. The annular rib defines a transition between the lower portion and the upper portion and protrudes outwardly with respect to both the upper portion and the lower portion of the bottle. The upper portion, lower portion and annular rib are portions of a single entity formed from one material. The upper portion is configured to reversibly collapse into the lower portion.

A method of dispensing customized hemp extract tinctures includes dispensing at least one of multiple cannabinoid isolate solutions and an inactive carrier oil into a tincture container by way of calibrated dispensers and sealing the tincture container.

A container filling assembly that can be used with container filling systems to fill containers during successive filling cycles with the same or different fluid compositions at high rates of speed, with little to no machinery changeover, and/or with little to no fluid waste.

A method of forming a container from a plastic preform while using a liquid as a blow medium. During the method, liquid is withdrawn from the container to reduce pressure within the container prior to disengaging of the injection head from the container. In one aspect the method involves the opening of a recirculation valve to reduce the pressure. The opening of the recirculation valve allowing air dispersed within the liquid to rise to the top of the container before disengaging of a forming head from the container. As a result, splashing and spillage of liquid from the neck of the container is eliminated when the forming head disengages from the container.
