A container (100) configured to house a fluid or other liquid, semi-solid, or solid composition has a body having a pulp-molded portion (130) and a side wall (104) that at least partially defines a coated lumen (118). The container can include a neck (116) that has an open end and is coupled to the body. A heterocompositional frame (114) can be used to reinforce the neck (116). The container (100) can include a permeation barrier material or other coating to act as a barrier between the container's walls and the container's contents. A method of reinforcing a neck (116) in a pulp-molded bottle is also disclosed. The method includes the step of providing a frame material that is heterocompositional to a material of the bottle. The method also includes the step of applying the frame material to the neck (116) of the bottle. |
