Abstract: A 1-gallon bottle with a carry-handle. The bottle includes a plurality of selectively reinforced panels that distribute a top load through a top portion and a body portion of the bottle and into a base portion. The top portion can include a top panel having a plurality of radially oriented grooves. The body portion can include a back panel, a lower back panel, first and second label panels, first and second side panels, first and second front panels, and a center panel. Each of the panels can be connected with adjacent panels along interconnecting edges or corners. Certain of the panels (e.g., larger panels) can be selectively reinforced, while certain other panels can remain unreinforced. The back panel can include a concave portion to allow a user to easily grip the carry-handle.
