    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a glass container in preparation for direct digital printing includes forming a glass container having a glass wall and applying a primer coating to the glass container. The primer coating is applied by directing an atomized spray of an aqueous primer composition onto the glass container over an adherent base layer, such as a hot-end coating, which deposits the primer coating, followed by heating the primer coating with a heat source such as a flame. Upon being heated, the clarity of the primer coating is increased. As a result, a decorative marking may be printed onto the glass container without having to pretreat the glass container in a way that involves pyrolytically depositing a layer of silicon dioxide onto the glass container prior to printing.

    Abstract: A glass container that includes a base defining a hole, and methods of manufacturing and using the glass container, is disclosed. The glass container is manufactured by providing the container and cutting a hole in a wall of the container. The hole may be cut into the wall by any technique in which glass material is separated from the wall including by mechanical shearing, thermal energy, and/or fluid impingement. To use the glass container, a deformable blow-out plug may be inserted into the hole to fluidly seal the hole, a liquid beverage may be introduced into the container, a closure may be coupled to the container to close the container and provide a pressurizable package, and thereafter the package may be internally pressurized by introducing a pressurizing gas into the package.
