The invention relates to a plastic container that is blown in a blow mold, having a body, defining an opening is provided, and a disposable closure, which closes the opening and is formed in the blow mold together with the body. A holding strip with a first end and a second end is also formed in the blow mold together with the body and the disposable closure. The first end is permanently fixed to the body, and the second end is permanently fixed to the closure. The body, the disposable closure, and the holding strip are formed as a single piece.

A container at least partially surrounded by a shrink sleeve, the shrink sleeve including a shrink sleeve aperture being defined by an aperture peripheral boundary having a peripheral length, where the shrink sleeve and the container are substantially the same color along at least a portion of the peripheral length. Processes for making such containers. Containers where the shrink sleeve and the container are substantially different colors along the peripheral length.

A plastic container manufactured from a preform with a mass share of at least 80% polyester and possibly an additive from the group consisting of dyes, fillers, catalysers, additives and lubricative additives. The plastic container comprises a container neck and a container shoulder which connects with the container neck and merges into a container body closed by a container base. The container shoulder, the container base and the container body are exclusively reshaped by a 2-stage stretch blow moulding method. The polyester is a copolyester and comprises groups which originate from the monomers cyclohexanedimethanol (CHDM) and/or monoethylene glycol (MEG), terephthalic acid (TPA) or its derivatives and isophthalic acid (IPA) or its derivatives. At least a part-region of the container body and/or of the container shoulder comprises a sharp edge with a radius of less than 0.5 mm. A method of manufacturing the plastic container is also described.

A glass container is provided having a glass tube with a first end and a second end and a glass bottom closing the second end. The glass tube has a longitudinal axis and has, in a direction from the first to the second end, a top region, a junction region, a neck region, a shoulder region, and a body region. The top region is at the first end and has an outer diameter (d.sub.t), the neck region has an outer diameter (d.sub.n) with d.sub.n<d.sub.t, the body region extends to the second end and has an outer diameter (d.sub.b) with d.sub.b>d.sub.t, and the glass tube in the body region has a thickness (l.sub.b). The outer contour in a transition area between the top and neck regions is defined by a radius of curvature. The glass containers have a neck squeeze test load of at least 1100 N.

According to the present invention, there is provided a bottle formed of a synthetic resin material in a cylindrical shape with a bottom, the bottle includes a bottom portion which includes a bottom wall portion and a heel portion, in which the bottom wall portion includes an inner peripheral wall portion and a depressed wall portion, a plurality of concave portions are formed on the inner peripheral wall portion, the plurality of concave portions are located on the inner peripheral wall portion at least in a portion including a lower end edge of the inner peripheral wall portion, a plurality of convex portions are formed at a connecting portion between the inner peripheral wall portion and the depressed wall portion, and the plurality of concave portions and the plurality of convex portions are provided alternately in the circumferential direction.

Provided is a can body in which a skirt part of the cap attached to a curl part certainly wraps to fixable and pressure resistance can be improved. A cylindrical part and a mouth part connected with a neck part with a smaller diameter than the cylindrical part are provided with; the mouth part has a curl part at an outer peripheral part which is made by folding a tip outward in a radial direction to round up; and in a vertical cross section on a can axis, a concave part is formed toward a lower side in the can axis direction, between an outer peripheral-lower side bent part which is convex diagonally downward on an outer peripheral part of the curl part and a curl end part having the tip.

A glass container for packaging a pharmaceutical composition including a glass tube with a first end and a second end, the glass tube having a wall thickness d.sub.w, a glass bottom having an outer area, and the glass bottom closes the glass tube at the first end. The glass container further including a curved glass heel extending from the outer area of the glass bottom to the first end of the glass tube. The curved glass heel is defined by an outer radius r.sub.o, an inner radius r.sub.i and a thickness of the glass d.sub.h in the curved glass heel, further wherein d.sub.h.sup.3/(r.sub.o×d.sub.w)>0.8 mm.

A synthetic resin container and a preform that can suppress increase in size of a mouth and can improve stability when a mouth is transferred by being gripped by a gripper. A synthetic resin container includes a tubular mouth and forms an accommodation space for contents. An outer circumferential surface of the mouth is provided with a gripper engaging groove to be engaged with a gripper of a transfer apparatus, the gripper engaging groove is formed such that a width of the groove of an opening opened in the outer circumferential surface of the mouth is decreased from an opening toward a bottom of the groove, and the gripper engaging groove corresponds to a shape of the gripper and has an upper side inclination and a lower side inclination respectively obliquely extending with respect to a plane perpendicular to an axis of the mouth.
