Abstract

The bottom of a paperboard container of the type suitable for consumer distribution of liquid foods such as milk and fruit juice includes an embossed concavity to reinforce the bottom against bulging under content fill pressure for improved free-standing stability. The concavity is embossed between a pair of dies having a stepped pyramid configuration. An air venting channel traverses the innermost platform of the stepped pyramid.
