A hot-fillable grip container having a sidewall with a front label panel on which a label can be adhesively secured and prominently displayed. The label panel includes horizontally disposed stiffening grooves and transversely disposed channels connecting between adjacent pairs of grooves. The channels are preferably vertically disposed such that they are perpendicular to said grooves and provide anti-barreling and anti-buckling functions. In addition, the channels enable ready drainage of cooling liquid applied to a hot-filled and capped container so that proper label adhesion can be achieved.

1. A plastic container, comprising:a blow molded container body having a base, a dome with a finish, and a sidewall located between a peripheral upper label bumper structure and a peripheral lower label bumper structure, said sidewall having a pair of inset grips and at least one label panel extending therebetween, and said sidewall being inset relative to said peripheral upper and lower label bumper structures; a plurality of vertically-spaced circumferentially-extending stiffening grooves extending inwardly on said label panel; a label supporting land extending between each adjacent pair of said grooves; and at least one inset channel formed on each of said lands and extending transversely across said land interconnecting an adjacent pair of grooves; whereby said channels enhance barreling and buckling resistance of said label panel and provide drainage paths to enable improved label adhesion.
