Abstract
A blow molded polyester container of the type specifically constructed for filling with a hot product and including a generally cylindrical body with the body having a major portion thereof of a reduced diameter and defining a label receiving area. The label receiving area has formed therein a series of circumferentially spaced expansion panels extending a major part of the height of the label receiving area and being separated by vertically extending reinforcing ribs that are spaced from adjacent expansion panels. Most specifically, the vertically extending reinforcing ribs have now been made of a height greater than the height of the expansion panels and undesirable bulges which previously appeared at the ends of similar reinforcing ribs when the ribs were shorter than the expansion panels have been eliminated.
