An insulative container comprising
- a container-support frame defining an interior product storage space and including a brim defining an open mouth opening into the product storage space, a floor spaced apart vertically from the brim and closing a lower end of the insulative container to provide a bottom of the interior product storage space, and a sidewall extending between and interconnecting the brim and the floor to define the interior product storage space above the floor and inward of the sidewall, and
- a container shell bonded with an outer surface of the sidewall to reside vertically between the brim and the floor and provide an attachment interface between container shell and the sidewall of the container-support frame from a lower edge of the container shell to an upper edge of the container shell,
- wherein the container-support frame includes a first polymeric formulation and a first density and the container shell includes a second polymeric formulation having a second density less than the first density,
- wherein the sidewall of the container-support frame includes a lower sidewall segment coupled to the floor, an upper sidewall segment coupled to the brim, and a shoulder coupled to an upper end of the lower sidewall segment and a lower end of the upper sidewall segment, and wherein the container shell has an upper end that terminates at the shoulder, and
- wherein the container shell has a thickness and the shoulder has a radial span that is about equal to the thickness of the container shell such that the upper end of the container shell is flush with an outer surface of the upper sidewall segment of the container-support frame.
