A hollow body includes a wall which at least partially surrounds an interior volume of the hollow body. The wall comprises a layer of glass comprising a first glass composition, comprises a base surface, and has a wall surface. The wall surface comprises at least one surface region, in which the base surface is at least partially superimposed by at least one elevated region, and at least one contact region, which extends along a contact range of a height of the hollow body. The at least one elevated region comprises a further glass composition. An exterior diameter of the hollow body has a maximum throughout the contact range. The at least one surface region is at least partially positioned in the at least one contact region.

Provided is a multilayer container including: a polyester layer containing a polyester resin (X); and a polyamide layer containing a polyamide resin (Y) and a yellowing inhibitor (A). The content of the polyamide resin (Y) is from 0.05 to 7.0 mass % relative to a total amount of all polyamide layers and all polyester layers, and the content of the yellowing inhibitor (A) is from 1 to 30 ppm relative to the total amount of all polyamide layers and all polyester layers. Also provided are a method for manufacturing the multilayer container, and a method for manufacturing a recycled polyester, the method thereof including a step of recovering polyester from the multilayer container.

A method of forming a flexible packaging film includes providing a first web including a polymer sealant layer, the first web having a first major surface and a second major surface opposite the first major surface. A second web including a polymer outer layer is provided, the second web having a third major surface and a fourth major surface opposite the third major surface. An adhesive layer is applied to the second major surface and the first web is laminated to the third major surface. Prior to laminating the first web to the second web, one or more slits are formed in the second web.

First, a composite preform 70 including a preform 10a and a plastic member 40a in close contact with the outer surface of the preform 10a is made by preparing the preform 10a made of plastic material and arranging the plastic member 40a to surround the outer surface of the preform 10a. Subsequently, the composite preform 70 is heated and inserted in a blow molding die 50 and undergoes blow molding in the blow molding die 50, by which the preform 10a and the plastic member 40a of the composite preform 70 are inflated integrally and a composite container 10A is obtained.

A braided sleeve is formed having complex geometry, including multiple geometries along the braided sleeve's longitudinal axis. In particular, along a first portion of the braided sleeve's longitudinal axis, multiple tows are intertwined with each other. Along a second portion, at least one of the tows is removed from being intertwined with the other tows and is relocated to an interior or an exterior of the braided sleeve. A third portion of the braded sleeve along the longitudinal axis includes the removed tow being intertwined with the plurality of tows again. In this manner, the braided sleeve may provide coverage of preforms with varying diameters along the longitudinal axis of the preforms.
