Integrated liquid container system and method of assembly thereof

A method of assembling an integrated liquid container system including a liquid delivery container within a housing, the method comprising:

• assembling a corrugated cardboard template into the housing, the housing being dimensioned to house the liquid delivery container, the housing comprising:
• a housing top portion comprising a neck aperture,
• a housing bottom portion opposite the housing top portion, wherein the housing bottom portion comprises a pouring aperture configured to allow a user to grip the integrated container system, and
• a housing body portion extending between the housing top portion and the housing bottom portion to define a housing inner cavity, wherein the housing body portion comprises a first surface and at least one aperture extending through the first surface of the housing body portion, and the housing top portion and the housing body portion defines a tab;
• arranging the liquid delivery container within the housing inner cavity, the liquid delivery container comprising:
• a container top portion comprising a neck having a length,
• a container bottom portion opposite the container top portion and comprising a pouring indent, and
• a container body portion extending between the container top portion and the container bottom portion to define a container inner cavity configured to store liquid,
• wherein the liquid delivery container top portion, the liquid delivery container bottom portion, and the liquid delivery container body portion comprise a thermoplastic polymer excluding high density polyethylene, and
• wherein the housing bottom portion comprises a pouring aperture, wherein arranging the liquid delivery container within the housing inner cavity comprises orienting the liquid delivery container such that the neck aperture of the housing top portion circumferentially extends around the neck of the container top portion;
• and
• securing the liquid delivery container in the housing by inverting the tab such that it extends into the housing inner cavity and contacts the container.

A method of assembling an integrated liquid container system, the method comprising:

• providing an outer portion of the integrated liquid container system, the outer portion comprising a box template;
• providing an inner portion of the integrated liquid container system, the inner portion comprising a bottle, the bottle comprising:
• a bottle top portion comprising a neck having a length,
• a bottle bottom portion opposite the bottle top portion, and
• a bottle body portion extending between the bottle top portion and the bottle bottom portion to define a bottle inner cavity configured to store liquid, wherein the bottle top portion, the bottle bottom portion, and the bottle body portion comprise a thermoplastic polymer comprising polyethylene terephthalate (PET), poly lactic acid (PLA), polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), or mixtures thereof;
• wrapping the box template around the bottle;
• assembling the box template into a box, the box comprising:
• a box top portion comprising a neck aperture,
• a box bottom portion opposite the box top portion, and
• a box body portion extending between the box top portion and the box bottom portion to define a box inner cavity, the box body portion comprising a first surface and at least one aperture extending through the first surface of the box body portion,
• wherein each of the box top portion and the box bottom portion comprise a portion comprising double-walled corrugated cardboard, wherein the bottle is configured to be received within the box inner cavity such that the neck aperture of the box top portion circumferentially extends around the neck of the bottle top portion, and the bottle top portion, the bottle bottom portion, and the bottle body portion each comprising a thermoplastic polymer excluding high density polyethylene, and
• wherein the box bottom portion comprises a pouring aperture configured to allow a user to grip the integrated container system;
• and
• securing the liquid delivery container in the housing by inverting a tab defined by the box top portion and the box body portion such that the tab extends into the housing inner cavity and contacts the bottle.
