Narrow neck glass container with integral embossments and method of manufacture

A method of making a narrow neck glass container having a container neck finish and a container body with at least one internal embossment, which includes the steps of:

• (a) providing a blank mold that includes a mold body and a neck ring, said neck ring having an internal surface for forming a container neck finish having an external closure attachment diameter of not more than 36 mm, said mold body having an internal surface with at least one debossment of predetermined geometry,
• (b) placing a gob of molten glass in said blank mold,
• (c) moving a plunger through said neck ring into said mold body to form said molten glass gob against said internal surfaces of said neck ring and said mold body, and thereby form a glass parison having said container neck finish and a parison body with at least one external embossment corresponding to said internal debossment in said mold body internal surface,
• (d) removing said glass parison from said blank mold
• (e) placing said glass parison into a blow mold having an internal surface,
• (f) directing blow gas through said container neck finish into said parison body to expand and stretch said parison body, including said at least one external embossment, against said blow mold internal surface, and thereby push said at least one external embossment on said parison through said parison body and forming a container body having at least one internal embossment corresponding to said external embossment, and
• (g) removing the glass container from said blow mold,
• wherein said parison body with embossment stretches at least 45% during said step (f).
