Abstract: A method for manufacturing a container includes forming a top portion of a preform by injecting a first material into a mold. A bottom portion of the preform is formed by injecting a second material into the mold to form inner and outer layers of the bottom portion and injecting a third material into the mold to form an intermediate layer of the bottom portion that is positioned between the inner layer and the outer layer. The third material includes virgin polyethylene terephthalate and an additive.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a container includes injecting a first material into a first mold to form a top portion of a preform. The first material and a second material are injected into the first mold to form a bottom portion of the preform. The preform is disposed in a second mold. The preform is blow molded into a finished container.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing packaging comprises the steps of: temperature conditioning one or more selected portions of at least one preform; and blowing and/or stretching the at least one temperature conditioned preform into a blow mold to form a container including an offset neck finish. Containers, packaging systems and packaging products are disclosed.

Abstract: A plastic, hot-fillable container is provided. The container comprises a blow molded body including a neck and a base having a center portion and a plurality of spaced apart radial segments. At least a portion of each segment is tapered from an outer side to an inner side thereof. Container systems and methods of manufacturing containers are presented.

Abstract: A container is provided and includes a top wall, a bottom wall, and a plurality of sidewalls defining a plurality of side corners. Each of the side corners includes a top corner. At least one of the top corners has a plurality of spherical polygons including at least a first spherical polygon having a first radius of curvature contiguous with a second spherical polygon having a second radius of curvature.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a packaging container comprises the steps of molding an article having a selected configuration and including a body defining a volume, a neck and a dome; trimming the article to remove the dome to form a finished container; aligning the finished container with a device having at least one heated rib; and engaging the at least one heated rib with the neck to form at least one vent. Containers and systems are disclosed.

Abstract: A method includes injection molding a preform using a two phase injection system having a first phase in which a material is injected into the preform and a second phase in which the material is injected into the preform. The preform is disposed in a mold. The preform is blow molded into an intermediate article. The intermediate article is trimmed to form a finished container. The first phase includes injecting a material into the preform to form a single layer of the preform and the second phase includes injecting the material to form inner and outer layers and an intermediate layer between the inner and outer layers. The inner and outer layers include the material and the intermediate layer includes at least one additive. Finished containers are disclosed.

Abstract: A blow molded container is provided. The container includes a neck having a neck finish and a transverse rim that defines an opening. A closure is provided that is engageable with the neck such that the rim is movable relative to the neck to define one or more vents configured for passage of a gas. In some embodiments, methods of use and manufacturing containers are disclosed.
