Abstract

A triangular 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 side walls and curved corners defining six circular segments in transverse cross-section arranged symmetrically and at least some of which have different radii. Preferably, the container is of a combination triangular and circular shape in transverse cross-section.
