A blow molded shipping container includes a hollow bottle of thermoplastic material defined by a continuous outer wall having a parting line formed during blow molding the bottle and a fill opening located on the parting line. An appurtenance of a material different from the thermoplastic material is integrally fused to the bottle during the blow molding of the bottle at a location of the bottle other than the parting line.

A lid is shown for use with a portable tank or intermediate bulk container, or the like, having a threaded collar defining a port opening. The lid includes a generally circular top wall and a generally cylindrical sidewall connected to the top wall and having an inner threaded surface for threading to the threaded collar to close the port opening, in use. First and second circular openings through the top wall define first and second bung openings. First and second cylindrical collars extend downwardly from the top wall surrounding the respective first and second openings. Each cylindrical collar has a threaded inner wall for receiving a removable closure to selectively close the first and second bung openings.

A bulk packaging container is constructed of all polymeric materials. The container is in the form of a rigid plastic intermediate bulk container or portable tank. The container comprises a base of an injection molded polymeric material having a bottom adapted to be supported from beneath and an opposite top surface to define a height of approximately six inches and including plural entry slots for forklift or pallet jack entry. A bottle of a rotationally molded polymeric material has an outer wall defining an interior storage space. The outer wall comprises a bottom wall received on the base top and a top wall including means for supporting a base of another bulk packaging container. The bottle is adapted to support weight of the other bulk packaging container.

A container assembly for transporting and storing liquids and semi-liquids, the container assembly including a rigid frame supporting a collapsible fabric bag which contains the liquid. The bag is hung at its upper end on tubes in the frame that are threaded through loops in the upper ends of the bag side walls. An elastically deformable support plate is in the frame for cushioning the shock of the bag during transport. The frame is collapsible to enable collapse of the bag after it is emptied.
