摘要

An outer container having a container insert therein for holding a predetermined volume of material. The outer container includes a container bottom having a periphery and a container wall extending generally upwardly to define an interior container portion of predetermined volume sized to accommodate the container insert. The container wall includes a neck portion complementarily sized to accommodate the exterior surface of the container insert. The container insert includes a bottom having a periphery and a wall extending generally upwardly to define an interior portion of predetermined volume for holding the material. The insert wall includes a vent which allows air to pass from the interior container portion to the atmosphere when the container insert is positioned therein. For assembly, the outer container is maintained at a temperature greater than the container insert and the container insert is positioned therein. The outer container is cooled such that the interior surface of the neck portion of the outer container contracts into engagement with the exterior surface of the upper portion of the container insert.
