Abstract: A distortion-resistant, round, multi-layer plastic bottle for the packaging of at least 48 fl. oz. of an oxygen-sensitive, hot-fill product such as tomato juice or a citrus juice, the material used in the construction of the bottle including a layer of an oxygen barrier material, the bottle having a generally cylindrical main body portion, such main body portion having a vertical series of horizontal corrugations, such corrugations being capable of partially collapsing in the vertical direction to accommodate the contraction of the product due to cooling after filling and capping, to thereby keep the round main body portion of the bottle, which receives a cylindrical or part cylindrical double-ended or cylindrical endless label, from distorting inwardly in an hourglass shape due to the cooling of the product.
