Abstract (en)

Hot-fillable, blow-moulded, wide mouth plastic containers having a pair of flex panels (111, 211) for accommodating thermally induced volumetric and pressure variations while affording east contents scoopablility, and desirable labelling features. Each flex panel (111) merges with a front label panel (113) by means of an upright arcuate wall portion (130) having a sufficiently large radius of curvature as to enable a label applied to the front panel (113) to wrap continuously onto at least a frontal marginal portion of said flex panel (111). A desirable base (127, 227) for a retortable container is also disclosed. <IMAGE>
