<p>A hot-fillable wide-mouth jar (10) having an opposed pair of collapse panels (32, 34) that move inwardly to accommodate vacuum-induced volumetric shrinkage of the jar (10). The jar (10) includes a sidewall (12) having front and rear label panels (24, 26) each of a predetermined radius of curvature (R1) and each of a predetermined arcuate extent. A pair of arcuate collapse panels (32, 34) are located between the front and rear label panels (24, 26), and each has a predetermined arcuate extent and an insert grip region (48) affording facile handling of the jar (10). Desirable structural parameters are disclosed.</p> |
