Abstract
The FFS plastic container for a dairy product or similar food composition is provided with a body having a side wall extending along a longitudinal axis from a bottom to a top that defines a wide upper opening. The container, which is provided with a generally planar annular flange integral with the body and extending around the upper opening, has a decorative layer around the side wall. The upper portion of the side wall tapers toward the opening. Either a peripheral bulge is formed in the side wall at a junction between the upper portion and a lower portion, or the lower portion has a generally cylindrical shape. The decorative layer is defined by a plastic sleeve that includes a shrink film annularly secured to the upper portion, the sleeve extending adjacent or over the junction.
