Abstract
A package including: a container; and a plug seal closure operatively engaged with an open end of the container; wherein the container has; a closed end opposing the open end; a container wall extending longitudinally between the closed end and the open end about a longitudinal axis; an end seam extending at least partially across the closed end; and a longitudinal overlapping seam extending from the end seam, a portion of the overlapping seam extending longitudinally along the container wall between the closed end and the open end; wherein the open end is narrower than at least a portion of the container away from the open end of the container; and wherein the closed end and the container wall consist of a one-piece thermoplastic substrate.

A package comprising:
- a container having an open end;
- and
- a plug seal closure operatively engaged with said open end of said container;
- wherein said container comprises;
- a closed end opposing said open end;
- a container wall extending longitudinally between said closed end and said open end about a longitudinal axis;
- an end seam extending at least partially across said closed end;
- and
- a longitudinal overlapping seam extending from said end seam, a portion of said overlapping seam extending longitudinally along said container wall between said closed end and said open end;
- wherein said open end is narrower than at least a portion of said container away from said open end of said container;
- and
- wherein said closed end and said container wall consist of a one-piece thermoplastic substrate;
- and
- wherein said container has height extending between said open end and said closed end and said container wall has a thickness away from said overlapping seam, wherein at mid-height said overlapping seam along said container wall has an overlap magnitude of more than 1.5 times said thickness of said container wall as measured at a distance from said overlapping seam equal to said overlap magnitude.
A package comprising:
- a container having an open end;
- and
- a plug seal closure operatively engaged with said open end of said container;
- wherein said container comprises;
- a closed end opposing said open end;
- a container wall extending longitudinally between said closed end and said open end about a longitudinal axis;
- an end seam extending at least partially across said closed end;
- and
- a longitudinal overlapping seam extending from said end seam, a portion of said overlapping seam extending longitudinally along said container wall between said closed end and said open end, wherein said overlapping seam has an overlap magnitude that varies as a function of distance from said closed end and the overlap magnitude is at a minimum proximal said open end;
- wherein said open end is narrower than at least a portion of said container away from said open end of said container;
- wherein said closed end and said container wall consist of a one-piece thermoplastic substrate;
- and
- wherein said open end is a calibrated neck, said calibrated neck has an inside diameter spanning said open end, and said inside diameter has a tolerance within plus or minus 2% of said inside diameter;
- and
- wherein said container has a height extending between said open end and said closed end and said container wall has a thickness away from said overlapping seam, wherein at mid-height said overlapping seam along said container wall has an overlap magnitude of more than 1.5 times said thickness of said container wall as measured at a distance from said overlapping seam equal to said overlap magnitude.
