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.

Blow molding appurtenances to a container

A reusable one-way shipping container. The shipping container includes a box shaped outer container of mesh material into which is received a synthetic resin inner tank. The inner tank includes an inlet fitting and a discharge fitting which are respectively positioned so that they may be accessed through a fill opening and a discharge opening in the outer container. The top wall of the outer container is defined by a pair of panels which are hingedly secured to opposing side walls of the outer container for movement between an opened position and a closed position. The open position of the panels allows the inner tank to be removed from said outer container upwardly between the side walls. The closed position of the panels retains the inner tank within said outer container.
