Abstract: A container has a base bottom and a base side wall extending up from and circumferentially around a perimeter of the base bottom. The base side wall terminates at an upper end with a top opening at the upper end into an interior of the container. The base side wall is formed in part by a molded plastic skeleton and in part by at least a wall section of a pre-formed panel structure in-molded with and carried by the skeleton. The wall section is joined to the skeleton along perimeter edges of the panel structure. Portions of both an inner surface and an outer surface of the wall section are exposed and not covered by the skeleton.
