HOT-FILLABLE, BLOW MOLDED CONTAINER

摘要

A plastic container (10) having a sidewall (22) extending between a shoulder portion (16) and a bottom portion (18). The sidewall (22) has a substantially oval shape in cross-section and includes a pair of opposing columns (30) and a pair of opposing panels (24, 26). The columns (30) are located at opposing ends of the oval shape and the panels (24, 26) are located at opposing sides of the oval shape. This configuration allows for reduced as-packaged vacuum pressures when the container (10) is used in hot-fill applications.
