Multi-compartment containers in accordance with embodiments of the invention are disclosed. In one embodiment, a device for storing multiple fluids in multiple compartments comprises a first compartment for storing a first fluid, a second compartment for storing a second fluid, wherein the second compartment is within the first compartment, a lid of the first compartment comprising a first aperture and a second aperture; and a holding lattice for holding the second compartment against the lid of the first compartment, wherein the second compartment is aligned with the second aperture of the lid.

This disclosure describes container(s) having an ultraviolet (UV)-cured matrix and methods to create the same. The glass container according to this disclosure has a bottom and a body extending in a direction away from the bottom along a longitudinal axis. The body has a surface having an UV-cured matrix including UV-curable varnish drops arranged in a plurality of layers and having voids existing therebetween to form a porous matrix structure. A method of printing a UV-cured matrix on a glass container is also disclosed that includes identifying a plurality of locations on a body of the container where the UV-cured matrix will be formed, determining a height value of the UV-cured matrix at each location, applying at least one varnish layer to the body according to an assigned grayscale or numeric value at each location, and applying UV light to cure each respective varnish layer.

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.
