A plastic blow molded bottle (10) or wide mouth jar useful in containing hot - filled beverages or food products. The container has a multi-sided sidewall (28) which is capable of accommodating vacuum associated with hot filling, capping and cooling of the container, which is reinforced to resist unwanted deformation, and which enables a label to be aesthetically displayed on the container sidewall. To this end, the sidewall comprises a plurality of panel s (32) which include outwardly bowed arcuate sections (36), as-formed, which flatten to accommodated induced vacuum. Thus, a label can be supported on th e sidewall with very few voids, or like sunken areas, behind the label to ensu re that the label is prominently displayed on the aesthetically appealing novel container configuration.
