A paper container has a bottom in which there is impressed a deformation groove to allow the bottom to deform in response to reduced internal pressures occurring as a hot liquid cools inside of the closed container. The bottom is formed in a continuous one-step process in which a series of coaxially arranged, telescoping tools travel relative to one another along a common axis to form the bottom with the deformation groove and a bent outer edge.

1. In a paper container of the type which receives liquids in a hot state, the container comprising a wound paper jacket, a separate paper bottom set into said jacket, a support surface for receiving a removable cover, and a deformation area which is deformable to accommodate a reduction in volume of the closed container during cooling of the liquid, the improvement wherein said bottom having a wall thickness which is approximately one-third that of said jacket to facilitate inward deformation of said bottom, said deformation area including a circumferential groove formed in said bottom such that the portion of the bottom encompassed by said groove is inwardly deformable during cooling of the liquid to reduce the internal volume of the container by approximately 3 to 6 percent of its nominal volume. 2. In a paper container according to claim 1, characterized in that said groove is open toward the outside. 3. In a paper container according to claim 1, wherein said bottom is recessed inwardly from a lower end of said jacket.
