Hot-fillable, blow molded container

摘要

A plastic container having a sidewall extending between a shoulder portion and a bottom portion. The sidewall has a substantially oval shape in cross-section and includes a pair of opposing columns and a pair of opposing panels. The columns are located at opposing ends of the oval shape and the panels are located at opposing sides of the oval shape. This configuration allows for reduced as-packaged vacuum pressures when the container is used in hot-fill applications.
