Abstract
Multi-barrier bottles having tabbed preforms, as well as methods of forming the same are disclosed. A tabbed preform includes an elongate body extending into a cavity of a first barrier, where the cavity is defined by at least one piece having a recess therein. The tabbed preform further includes at least one preform extension piece extending from the elongate body at a predetermined distance from a top surface of the elongate body. The at least one preform extension piece is sized and shaped to correspond to a size and a shape of the recess.

A multi-barrier bottle comprising:
- an exterior barrier comprising a first piece and a second piece formed from a pulp material, wherein the exterior barrier includes a plurality of recesses therein, wherein the first piece and the second piece are joined together to define a cavity;
- an interior barrier formed from a polymer material, the interior barrier comprising an elongate body extending into the cavity within the exterior barrier;
- a stop mechanism including a plurality of beads arranged around a circumference of the elongate body, each of the plurality of beads extending from the elongate body and positioned discretely from another of the plurality of beads, wherein each of the plurality of beads is located a distance from a top surface of the elongate body such that the plurality of beads maintains a positioning of the interior barrier with respect to the exterior barrier such that the exterior barrier is in contact with the plurality of beads and does not extend between the plurality of beads and the top surface of the elongate body;
- and
- a plurality of extension pieces extending from the elongate body at a predetermined distance from a top surface of the elongate body, wherein each of the plurality of extension pieces engages with a corresponding recess of the plurality of recesses of the exterior barrier to prevent lateral rotation of the exterior barrier with respect to the interior barrier.

A multi-barrier containment comprising:
- a first barrier comprising a body that is shaped to define a cavity, wherein the body comprises a plurality of recesses;
- a second barrier constructed of a polymer material, the second barrier comprising an elongate body extending into the cavity within the first barrier;
- a plurality of beads arranged around a circumference of the elongate body, each of the plurality of beads extending from the elongate body and maintaining a positioning of the second barrier with respect to the first barrier;
- and
- a plurality of extension pieces extending from the elongate body at a predetermined distance from a top surface of the elongate body, wherein each of the plurality of extension pieces is received in a corresponding one of the plurality of recesses of the body of the first barrier.
