A container including a plurality of side walls, a top, a handle, a bumper, and a substantially planar label surface. The top has a neck and is joined to a top portion of the side walls. The handle is formed in a region adjacent the top and extends between two adjacent side walls within the profile of the container. The bumper extends around the periphery of the container across each of the side walls. The bumper projects outward from each of the side walls a distance. The substantially planar label surface is located on one of the side walls proximal the bumper and extends upwardly higher than a lower end portion of the handle. The distance is sufficient to prevent contact of the label surface against a flat surface abutting against the container. The bumper may be offset downwardly to extend around the label surface thereby enlarge the label surface. The container may include a plurality of corner portions interconnecting adjacent side walls. Each corner portion may include a downward facing shoulder located intermediate the bumper and the top. The shoulders may define a recessed portion of the corner portion extending between the bumper and the shoulder. The recessed portion may be adapted for receiving a flexible-sleeve label.
