Stress features for crack redirection and protection in glass containers

A glass container comprising:

• a glass body comprising a first region under a compressive stress extending from a surface of the glass body to a depth of compression and a second region extending from the depth of compression into a thickness of the glass body, the second region being under a tensile stress;
• and
• a localized compressive stress region having a localized compressive stress extending from the surface to a localized depth of compression within the body, wherein:
• the localized depth of compression is greater than or equal to 2% of the wall thickness of the body and less than or equal to 25% of the wall thickness of the body, and
• the localized depth of compression is greater than the depth of compression of the first region.

• the localized depth of compression is greater than the depth of compression of the first region;
• and
• a crack re-direction region in the glass body, the crack re-direction region extending in a predetermined propagation direction, wherein the crack re-direction region possesses a higher tensile stress than the tensile stress in the second region in a sub-region of the crack re-direction region, the sub-region extending substantially perpendicular to the predetermined propagation direction.
