Abstract
A load bearing container is provided which is made from a non-glass material and yet possesses the top load column strength of a glass container or bottle. The container includes a diagonally oriented molded ring profile composed of alternatingly outwardly protruding curved sections and inwardly curved channels which have root radii large enough to avoid accordion-like collapsing at the molded ring profile. The container includes a shoulder section having generally opposing edge profiles which are of unequal lengths. The container is suitable for hot-filling and will avoid buckling and deformation during cooling, storage, stacking, transporting, display and use.
