<p>A blow moulded plastics container for storing liquid (e.g., milk) has a body with a central axis intended to be generally vertical during storage. A part line of the container bisects an integral handle on the body. The body defines a footprint having a width which is greater in a middle region than at either longitudinal end of the footprint. The body has opposing side surfaces extending in a direction at least generally aligned with the part line of the container and forming part of the footprint. In one embodiment, the footprint is longer than it is wide and is asymmetrical about a transverse axis extending in a direction perpendicular to said part line. This reduces thinning effects associated with blowing a parison in a mould cavity.</p> |
