Abstract: A plastic container for a particulate product includes a base and a surrounding wall member upstanding therefrom which generally define a container main interior volume. A top connects to the surrounding wall member and includes a large opening closed by a lid. The surrounding wall member includes a vertical side portion which is arcuate in lateral cross section and in which a pass-through handle is located having a generally vertical segment. The opening of the top is sufficiently large to extend over a portion of the hollow cavity; or is sufficiently wide to receive about a 5? diameter cylinder therethrough, and has a ratio of a minimum span to a bottom diagonal of at least about 90%. A shoulder between the top and the surrounding wall member has an angle of less than about 40°. The handle is configured and sized for easy grasping and holding.

Abstract: A plastic container for a particulate product has a footprint and includes a base and at least two and preferably four sides upstanding therefrom which generally define a container main interior volume. A top connects to the sides and includes a large opening which is closed by a lid. One corner includes a pass-through handle located therein having a generally vertical segment which may define a hollow cavity in communication with the main interior volume. The opening of the top is sufficiently large to extend over a portion of the hollow cavity; or is sufficiently wide to receive about a 5? diameter cylinder therethrough, and has a ratio of a minimum span to a bottom diagonal of at least about ?. A shoulder between the top and sides has an angle of less than about 40°. The handle is configured and sized for easy grasping and holding.

Abstract: A plastic container for a particulate product has a footprint and includes a base and at leas two and preferably four sides upstanding therefrom which generally define a container main interior volume. A top connects to the sides and includes a large opening which is closed by a lid. One side includes a pass-through handle located therein having a generally vertical segment which may define a hollow cavity in communication with the main interior volume. The opening of the top is sufficiently large to extend over a portion of the hollow cavity; or is sufficiently wide to receive about a 5? diameter cylinder therethrough, and has a ratio of a minimum span to a bottom diagonal of at least about 2:3. A shoulder between the top and sides has an angle of less than about 40°. The handle is configured and sized for easy grasping and holding.

Abstract: A container including a fitment having an outer wall and a pour spout. The fitment outer wall includes a first product exit aperture. A bottle finish includes one or more locking surfaces abutting the outer wall of the fitment, and the finish locking surface includes a channel which directs product trapped between the outer wall of the fitment and the inner wall of the finish to the first product exit aperture and then to the exterior of the container or directly to the exterior of the container. This permits egress of residual drops of product from the container. Alternatively, the channel can extend to the top of the finish.
