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, 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;
• arranging the liquid delivery container within the housing inner cavity, the liquid delivery container comprising:
• a container top portion comprising a neck,
• 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,
• wherein the liquid delivery container top portion, the liquid delivery container bottom portion, and the liquid delivery container body portion comprise a thermoplastic polymer, and
• 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 surrounds at least a portion of the neck of the container top portion;
• and
• securing the liquid delivery container in the housing.

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,
• 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, 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;
• and
• 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.

A bottle comprising:

• a bottle top portion comprising a neck, the neck comprising:
• a continuous inner surface portion equidistant from a center axis of the neck, and
• a neck top portion and a neck bottom portion,
• wherein the neck is positioned at an axial center of the liquid delivery container;
• a bottle bottom portion opposite the bottle top portion, the bottle bottom portion comprising a pouring indent, wherein the pouring indent is a substantially curvilinear recess formed in an underside of the bottle bottom portion;
• a bottle body portion extending between the bottle top portion and the bottle bottom portion to define a bottle inner cavity, wherein the bottle top portion, the bottle bottom portion, and the bottle body portion consist of a thermoplastic polymer selected from the group consisting of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), poly lactic acid (PLA), polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), and combinations thereof;
• a cap that is selectively attachable to and detachable from the neck top portion, wherein (i) when the cap is attached to the neck top portion, the bottle is in a closed state, and (ii) when the cap is detached from the neck top portion, the bottle in an open state;
• and
• a plastic bottle handle having a first portion proximate the cap.
