Abstract: A closed plastic container has a plastic elongated sleeve which has a hollow interior. A line of embrittlement is inscribed by a laser within the thickness of the sleeve wall to form a breaking plane seam for opening the container. The container is opened by squeezing or twisting the container at the scribed line seam. The closed container may have an applicator material inside or outside of the container. A substance contained within the container is dispensed and applied when the container is opened at the inscribed plastic embrittlement line. The preferred plastic container material is poly(ethylene terephthalate).
