Abstract
A container including a longitudinal overlapping seam extending from an end seam and a mold part line extending from the closed end of the container to the open end of the container. The container wall consists of a one-piece thermoplastic substrate.
Claims19
A container comprising:
- an open end;
- a closed end opposing said open end;
- a container wall extending longitudinally between said closed end and said open end about a longitudinal axis;
- an end seam extending at least partially across said closed end;
- a longitudinal overlapping seam extending from said end seam, a portion of said overlapping seam extending from said end seam and longitudinally along said container wall;
- and
- a mold part line extending from said closed end to said open end;
- wherein said open end is narrower than at least a portion of said container away from said open end of said container;
- wherein said closed end and said container wall consist of a one-piece thermoplastic substrate;
- wherein said container has a height extending between said closed end and said open end;
- wherein said overlapping seam along said container wall has an overlap magnitude (430) at a location about 10% of the height away from said closed end;
- and
- wherein at a location that is about 10% of the height away from said closed end said mold part line and said overlapping seam are within a distance of one another of less than about five times said overlap magnitude.

A container comprising:
- an open end;
- a closed end opposing said open end;
- a container wall extending longitudinally between said closed end and said open end about a longitudinal axis;
- an end seam extending at least partially across said closed end;
- and
- a longitudinal overlapping seam extending from said end seam, a portion of said overlapping seam extending longitudinally along said container wall between said closed end and a neck portion proximal said open end, wherein said overlapping seam has an overlap magnitude that varies as a function of distance from said closed end and said overlap magnitude is at a minimum proximal said open end;
- wherein said open end is narrower than at least a portion of said container away from said open end of said container;
- wherein said closed end and said container wall consist of a one-piece thermoplastic substrate;
- and
- wherein said open end is a calibrated neck, said calibrated neck has an inside diameter spanning said open end, and said inside diameter has a tolerance within plus or minus about 2% of said inside diameter.
