Abstract
A hot-fillable grip container having a sidewall with a front label panel on which a label can be adhesively secured and prominently displayed. The label panel includes horizontally disposed stiffening grooves and transversely disposed channels connecting between adjacent pairs of grooves. The channels are preferably vertically disposed such that they are perpendicular to said grooves and provide anti-barreling and anti-buckling functions. In addition, the channels enable ready drainage of cooling liquid applied to a hot-filled and capped container so that proper label adhesion can be achieved.
