A bottle configured to house and dispense items. The bottle comprises a body, a finish positioned above the body, and a ramp protruding into an interior space defined by the body. The body includes a base and a sidewall extending up from the base. The body defines the interior space for housing the items. The finish presents an opening for dispensing the items from the body. The ramp is formed with a concave shape configured to support one or more of the items.

Bag-in-container with a coating layer The invention is in the field of containers for foods and drinks. There is provided a method for applying a coating layer (10, 14, 2, 4) on a preform (1, 2, 7) for a bag-in-container using plasma deposition. There is also provided a preform (1, 2, 7) for a bag-in-container, comprising an inner preform (8) and an outer preform (9) with facing surfaces, wherein at least one of the facing surfaces comprises a coating layer (10, 14, 2, 4) that is applied using plasma deposition.

Container (1) with a coating layer. The invention is in the field of containers for foods and drinks. There is provided a method for applying a coating layer (2, 4) on a preform (1, 2) for a container (1) using plasma deposition. There is also provided a preform (1, 2) for a container (1), as well as a container (1) obtainable by stretching of the preform (1, 2).

A method for producing a multiple preform, including a primary injection for injection molding a preform main body using a primary mold, and a secondary injection for injection molding, using a secondary mold, a covering layer that covers the preform main body such that the terminal end side of the covering layer covers the lower surface of the neck ring and reaches the peripheral edge of the neck ring. A projection strip portion is formed when the preform main body is inserted into the secondary mold to be clamped, that projects in a gap in which the covering layer is molded to be in contact with or adjacent to a lower surface of the neck ring, and that extends with a given length along an axis direction, is formed on an inner peripheral surface of the secondary molding mold, thereby forming an easy tear portion in the covering layer.

Article having a body portion including one or more walls surrounding an interior space. The one or more walls have an inner surface, an outer surface, a wall thickness, a transparent portion, and one or more aesthetic regions having oblong voids provided between the inner surface and the outer surface within an outermost 70% of the wall, and the one or more aesthetic regions are provided in a predetermined pattern.

A method of the selection, modification of existing, and/or creation of polyester based polymer materials, which provide improved response to the application of local shear and/or extensional deformation inside the polyester based polymer melt in injection stretch blow molding, is disclosed. A method for manufacturing a polymer article is also provided including injecting a molten polyester based polymer in a preform mold for converting it in a preform while applying shear and/or extensional deformation on the polyester based polymer melt. Applying shear and/or extensional deformation on the polyester based polymer melt includes modifying the flow path of the molten polymer as a function of local pressure profile over at least part of the flow path. The local pressure profile is determined as a function of optimized response of the polyester based polymer melt to the applied local shear and/or extensional deformation over at least said part of the flow path.
