PURPOSE: Provided is a hot fill container with vertically asymmetric vacuum panels having a large range of flexibility while retaining sufficient support of any label applied to the container even when subjected to sidewall impact. CONSTITUTION: The hot fill container comprises a closable neck(30), a shoulder portion(32) situated below the neck(30), a base(12), and a body portion connecting the shoulder portion(32) to the base(12). The body portion includes upper and lower margins(36,40) defining a label mount area between the margins. The label mount area includes a plurality of vacuum panels(44), each adjacent pair of vacuum panels being spaced apart from each other by a first land area(46). Each vacuum panel(44) includes an upper edge(48) and a lower edge(50) spaced from the upper and lower margins(36,40) of the label mount area. Each vacuum panel(44) includes an upper area(56) adjacent the upper edge(48) and a lower area(58) adjacent the lower edge(50). The upper and lower areas(56,58) are asymmetric with respect to each other.
