By arranging the fitting area on the bottle body, the protection layer in the fitting area, the pattern layer on the side surface of the protection layer away from fitting area, and the light-transmittable wrapping layer on the pattern layer, the pattern layer is protected effectively. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A novel container comprising: a bottle body having a base, an opening, and a sidewall positioned between the base and the opening; a fitting area arranged on an outer surface of the sidewall of the bottle body, wherein the fitting area has a floor recessed relative to the outer surface of the sidewall of the bottle body in at least locations of the sidewall proximate to the base and the opening, and a side edge connected between the floor and the outer surface of the sidewall of the bottle body; a protection layer in direct contact with the floor of the bottle body; a pattern layer in direct contact with a side surface of the protection layer; and a light-transmittable wrapping layer arranged on the pattern layer, wherein the pattern layer is positioned between the protection layer and the light-transmittable wrapping layer, and wherein the pattern layer, the protection layer, and the light-transmittable wrapping layer are positioned within the fitting area and, using an in-molding process, a laminating process, or an extrusion process, the light-transmittable wrapping layer is bonded to the side edge of the fitting area with a bonding layer. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The novel container according to claim 1, wherein a plurality of protrusions are arranged on a side surface of the light-transmittable wrapping layer away from the fitting area. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The novel container according to claim 1, further comprising a bottle cap screwed on the opening arranged on the bottle body, wherein a thread is arranged on an outer surface of the opening. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The novel container according to claim 3, wherein a suction nozzle has a straw inside and is arranged on the bottle cap, wherein the straw is extended to be arranged inside the bottle body. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The novel container according to claim 1, wherein the fitting area is arranged symmetrically on the outer surface of the bottle body, and a shape of the fitting area adapts to a shape of the protection layer and a shape of the light-transmittable wrapping layer. ### Claim 6 (depends on 2) The novel container according to claim 2, wherein the plurality of protrusions are in cylindrical shapes or hemispherical shapes. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The novel container according to claim 1, wherein a material of the light-transmittable wrapping layer is a transparent elastomer. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The novel container according to claim 1, wherein a material of the bottle body is a plastic or a metal. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The novel container according to claim 1, wherein a window penetrates through the light-transmittable wrapping layer, wherein a portion of the light-transmittable layer at the window is not attached to the pattern layer, and wherein the window discharges excess air from between the light-transmittable trapping layer and the pattern layer when the light-transmittable wrapping layer is arranged on the pattern layer. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The novel container according to claim 1, wherein a material of the protection layer is a plastic. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The novel container according to claim 1, wherein the pattern layer, the protection layer, and the light-transmittable wrapping layer do not protrude past the outer surface of the bottle body. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The novel container according to claim 1, wherein the pattern layer, the protection layer, and the light-transmittable wrapping layer are laminated together. ### Claim 13 (depends on 1) The novel container according to claim 1, wherein the bonding layer is formed from a different material of the light-transmittable wrapping layer and the bottle body. ### Claim 14 A novel container comprising: a bottle body having a base, an opening, and a sidewall positioned between the base and the opening; a fitting area arranged on an outer surface of the sidewall of the bottle body, wherein the fitting area has a floor recessed relative to the outer surface of the sidewall of the bottle body in at least locations of the sidewall proximate to the base and the opening, and a side edge connected between the floor and the outer surface of the sidewall of the bottle body; a protection layer; a pattern layer arranged on a side surface of the protection layer; a light-transmittable wrapping layer arranged on the pattern layer; a window formed through the light-transmittable wrapping layer, wherein a portion of the light-transmittable layer at the window is not attached to the pattern layer, and wherein the window discharges excess air from between the light-transmittable trapping layer and the pattern layer when the light-transmittable wrapping layer is arranged on the pattern layer; and wherein the pattern layer is positioned between the protection layer and the light-transmittable wrapping layer, and wherein the pattern layer, the protection layer, and the light-transmittable wrapping layer are positioned within the fitting area and, using an in-molding process, a laminating process, or an extrusion process, the light-transmittable wrapping layer is bonded to the side edge of the fitting area with a bonding layer. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The novel container according to claim 14, wherein the pattern layer and the protection layer are in direct contact. ### Claim 16 (depends on 14) The novel container according to claim 14, wherein the bonding layer is formed from a different material of the light-transmittable wrapping layer and the bottle body.
