The present invention relates to systems, methods, and apparatuses for the management, distribution, dispensing, and administration of consumer products, including over-the-counter and prescription medications through use of a product container labeling system and an optional integrated computer-based or online management system. In certain aspects, the invention relates to a product container comprising a hollow body, a child-resistant cap, and a specialized information label affixed to the hollow body.

A container defining a longitudinal axis and a transverse direction that is transverse with respect to the longitudinal axis is disclosed. The container includes a finish, a sidewall portion extending from the finish, and a base portion extending from the sidewall portion and enclosing the sidewall portion to form a volume therein for retaining a commodity. The base portion has a contact surface for supporting the container. The container also includes at least one strap extending along the base portion in the transverse direction. The strap defines a strap surface, and the strap surface is spaced offset in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis from the contact surface. The strap surface extends in the transverse direction to be adjacent the sidewall portion such that the at least one strap surface is visible from a side of the container.

An apparatus is provided in the form of a neck for a plastic bottle or other plastic container. The neck includes an external thread with a constant major diameter that can engage with a bottle cap with an internal thread. The neck has an internal surface with an irregular shape where the internal diameter proximate to the top sealing surface is greater than the internal diameter proximate to the side wall of the plastic bottle. The internal surface of the neck engages with a fitment inserted into the neck of the plastic container to prevent movement of the fitment.

A container including an opening defined by a finish portion, and a base at an end of the container opposite to the opening. The base includes a standing ring extending inward from a heal to a center pushup portion. The center pushup portion includes an pushup ring surrounding an inversion portion. In an as-blown position the inversion portion extends outward and beyond the pushup ring such that the inversion portion is further from the opening than the pushup ring. In a final position the inversion portion is inverted relative to the as-blown position such that the inversion portion extends inward so as to be closer to the opening than the pushup ring. The inversion portion is mechanically moved from the as-blown position to the filled position with an inversion device after the container has been filled to reduce vacuum or increase pressure within the container.

A container for receiving therein a liquid is provided. The container comprises an upper portion, a lower portion opposite thereto, and sidewalls extending therebetween and all defining an enclosed volume therewithin. The upper portion comprises an opening to the volume. The container further comprises a cap configured to be secured to the upper portion for closing the enclosed volume. The upper portion is configured to be connected to the lower portion. The sidewalls are associated with one or more arrangements configured to facilitate connection to sidewalls of similarly constructed containers.

An improved bottle having a mating clip is disclosed. The bottle includes a guide, preferably located on opposing sidewalls of the bottle, to direct attachment features of a clip toward mating attachment features of a bottle in order to facilitate attachment of the bottle to the clip in a tactile fashion. The guide further serves as a release mechanism, in which an inward force applied to the guide will cause deflection of the bottle to separate the clip from the bottle.

A container with separable laminated layers includes an outer layer body, an inner layer body separably laminated on an inner surface of the outer layer body and capable of undergoing volume reduction and deformation, and an ambient air inlet extending between the outer layer body and the inner layer body. The container has a bottle shape with a tubular mouth, a shoulder that is continuous with the mouth, a trunk that is continuous with the shoulder, and a bottom that is continuous with the trunk. The trunk includes a squeeze area. The squeeze area has a substantially polygonal tubular shape with three or more panel-shaped portions, and three or more corner portions that each connect adjacent panel-shaped portions.

A container obtained by blow-moulding a rolled tube. The container includes a body extending, according to a longitudinal axis, between a bottom and a neck made integrally in one-piece with the body. The body has, along a height according to the longitudinal axis, a wall having a thickness between 0.05 mm and 0.4 mm. The neck has, along the height according to the longitudinal axis, a wall having a thickness between 0.4 mm and 0.8 mm.

An intermediate bulk container system includes a molded bottle and a pallet. The molded bottle includes a bottom wall and a top wall opposite the bottom wall. A plurality of support columns extend vertically from the bottom wall and define a column thickness. A plurality of sidewalls extending vertically between the bottom wall and the top wall and horizontally between the support columns. The sidewalls define a sidewall thickness that is less than the column thickness.
