Abstract
A non-round easy-grip composite container has a composite bottom closure and an outwardly-curled beaded top edge adapted to receive a membrane closure and a snap-on overcap. The composite container has outwardly-bowed curved front, rear and side walls and curved corners defining eight circular segments in transverse cross-section arranged symmetrically about perpendicular axes and at least some of which have different radii. Preferably, the container is of a combination rectangular and elliptical shape in transverse cross-section and the front and rear walls have a common predetermined radius in transverse cross-section which is larger than a common predetermined radius for the side walls in transverse cross-section. The corners also have a common predetermined radius in transverse cross-section.
