    摘要: A container having enhanced wall integrity is provided that includes a sidewall comprising at least one alignment structure formed therein or as a part thereof. The alignment structure is adapted for orienting the container with respect to a second container such that the containers become aligned or indexed such that they may be fully nested one within the other. The alignment structures can each include a protrusion that extends radially outwardly relative from the sidewall to form peaks along an external surface of the container and valleys along an inner surface of the container. Each alignment structure may further include an alignment ridge protruding from the peak of the alignment structure. Such alignment ridges may project outwardly from a remainder of the peak of the alignment structure at an angle, radius, or curvature that is different than that of the remainder of the peak.

    摘要: A container has a base with upwardly extending sidewalls forming an enclosed volume. A plurality of spaced apart pillars extend from toward the base to toward an upper edge of the sidewalls along the sidewalls. The pillars may have a plurality of supports forming each of the pillars. The pillars provide additional stacking strength to the container without significantly contributing to the weight of the container.

    摘要: A tool for producing a plastic container in a thermoform process, in particular a plastic deep drawing process, with a positive mold, is described. The container may have a bottom section for forming a container bottom. The container may also have a lateral wall section for forming a circumferential, lateral wall integrally formed with the container bottom from the same material. The container may also have a wall for forming a stacking edge formed as a hollow profile, circumferentially protruding beyond an external contour of the lateral wall of the container. In a molding position for forming the container, the wall is arranged circumferentially protruding around an entire external side of the positive mold. The wall is movable out of the molding position into a demolding position. A method for producing the container by the tool is also provided.
