A method of integrating a liner into a bio-degradable or compostable container shell to create a container comprising:

• providing a first surface of a first part and a second surface of a second part of a container shell;
• placing the container shell in a receiving position;
• aligning the container shell perimeter in a desired dimension and shape;
• blow molding a liner to be included in the container shell, wherein the liner includes an integral fitment feature;
• securing the fitment feature to a holding device to assist in placing the liner in the container shell;
• placing the liner with the integral fitment feature into the container shell;
• registering the fitment feature into the container shell;
• aligning and mating the fitment feature to the container shell;
• and
• closing an assembly unit so as to place the first surface of the first part and the second surface of the second part in communication with each other.
