A glass container includes a body region with a first end and a second end, the body region having an outer diameter (d1) and a glass thickness (s1), the body region being characterized by a longitudinal axis (Ltube) that passes through a center of the first and second end. When the glass container is standing on a support surface, h2 is the distance between the support surface up to the second end of the body region. The following condition is fulfilled: (A×X)/B=C. A is an axial load necessary to break the glass container to obtain fragments, X is a normalized area in cm2 defined as h2×d1×π+d12/4×π, B is a number of fragments of the glass container, and C is a fracture ratio. C is 40 N×cm2 or more and B is 30 or more.
