A one piece metal bottle has an open mouth and a neck with a smooth exterior surface and an threaded bottle ring. An interior neck surface of the threaded bottle ring has a smooth configuration positionable upon the neck of the bottle. An exterior neck surface has male threads adapted to removably receive a crown cap. An annular lower edge is positionable in contact with at least one axial projection extending outwardly from the bottle, below and in contact with the threaded bottle ring, to abate downward movement of the threaded bottle ring. An annular upper edge is positionable in contact with a collar formed in an annular cylindrical configuration extending outwardly from the bottle, above and in contact with the threaded bottle ring, to abate upward movement of the threaded bottle ring.

The invention relates to a fiber-based container comprising a first layer made of compressed pulp, which forms a dimensionally stable sleeve and encloses an interior. The sleeve is at least partially coated with a second layer made of a partially crystalline polyester, and the partially crystalline polyester is applied in the form of a fluid or powder.

A glass cartridge comprises a cylindrical body portion comprising an outer diameter D.sub.c and an average sidewall thickness T.sub.c, the cylindrical body portion having a first end and a second end opposite the first end; an opening at the first end of the cylindrical body portion; a shoulder extending radially inward from the second end of the cylindrical body portion; and a neck extending from the shoulder and comprising an outer neck diameter N.sub.OD that is less than the outer diameter D.sub.c of the cylindrical body portion. The average wall thickness T.sub.c is less than or equal to 0.85*s.sub.1, wherein s.sub.1 is a wall thickness of a standard glass cartridge defined by ISO 13926-1:2004 having an outer diameter d.sub.1 that is closer to the outer diameter D.sub.c than the outer diameter d.sub.1 of any other standard glass cartridge defined by ISO 13926-1:2004.

Food and beverage containers and methods of coating are provided. The food and beverage containers include a metal substrate that is at least partially coated with a coating composition that includes a water-dispersible resin system and an aqueous carrier. The resin system includes an epoxy component and an acrylic component. In a preferred embodiment, the coating composition is at least minimally retortable when cured.
