Plastic container with horizontal annular ribs

摘要

A plastic bottle comprises a label panel portion comprising a plurality of ribs extending annularly about the perimeter thereof and lands located between each rib for accepting a label thereon, wherein the ribs are configured to render the label panel substantially rigid and capable of enduring pasteurization without subjecting the lands to substantial alteration or misalignment. A pasteurizable bottle having a label panel onto which a label may be evenly secured is thus provided.
