A container is provided with grip enhancing protrusions of various shapes and sizes, which are raised and integrally formed on the container, thereby increasing the volume. The protrusions are arranged such that a person grasping the container will predominantly contact the protrusions rather than the body of the container, thereby reducing transfer or conduction of heat between the user\s hands and the container. The ornamentation on the surface provides a layer of lettering on the surface which extends over the protrusions to enhance the ornamentation. A partially collapsible container adapted to contain beverages or other dispensable fluids includes a collapsible portion for the automatic deployment of either a drinking straw or a pour spout mounted within the container. In its non-collapsed state, the straw or spout is hidden within the container and is strutted between the top and bottom of the container to support the container during shipping and handling.

A container for a fluid, comprising: an elongated generally cylindrical body portion having first and second ends; a bottom portion sealing the first end; a substantially planar top portion sealing the second end and having an aperture; a cover member releasably secured to the top portion for sealing the aperture, wherein the cover member provides a closed cavity suitable for containing a fluid without fluid communication therethrough; the body portion having disposed thereon and embossed therein a pattern of protrusions of a preselected shape, height, configuration and arrangement, the protrusions enhancing the exterior periphery of the body portion by providing traction thereto whereby the container can be more securely held when the container becomes wet or cold, the protrusions extending outwardly to increase the volume of container relative to the same container without embossing and to substantially decrease the area of contact with the hand of a user holding the container such that there is less temperature conduction between the hand and the fluid in the container and, the body including an outside surface, and including a printed layer of an ornamental representation on the outside surface, the ornamental representation acting to enhance the ornamental effect of the surface, and the ornamental representation including in at least some part printed lettering, and at least some part of the ornamental representation extending over the protrusions.
