An apparatus is provided for a container comprising a base, a bell, a sidewall between the base and the bell, a neck and a finish which define an opening to an interior of the container, and a shoulder between the sidewall and the bell. Strap ribs extend from a central portion of the base and terminate at the sidewall. The strap ribs cooperate with vertically aligned recessed columns of the sidewall to resist bending, leaning, crumbling, or stretching along the sidewall and the base. An inwardly offset portion of the sidewall is disposed between each pair of adjacent recessed columns. The inwardly offset portions of the sidewall are configured to resist outward bowing of the sidewall due to internal pressure of contents within the container.

1. A container comprising a base, a bell, a sidewall between the base and the bell, a neck and a finish which define an opening to an interior of the container, and a shoulder between the sidewall and the bell, the container comprising: a grip portion of the sidewall comprising a multiplicity of circumferentially positioned grip portion ribs, each grip portion rib comprising a deep rib portion transitioning to a middle rib portion and then to a shallow rib portion;a label portion of the sidewall comprising a multiplicity of circumferentially positioned label portion ribs;a plurality of strap ribs, wherein each of the strap ribs extends substantially from a central portion of the base and terminates at a sidewall end in the grip portion, and wherein the strap ribs cooperate with a plurality of vertically aligned recessed columns of the sidewall so as to resist at least one of bending, leaning, crumbling, or stretching along the sidewall and the base and further wherein said plurality of strap ribs offers pressure resistance for internally pressured bottles;a plurality of inwardly offset portions of the sidewall configured to resist outward bowing of the sidewall due to internal pressure of contents in the interior of the container, each of the plurality of inwardly offset portions being disposed between each pair of adjacent vertically aligned recessed columns;a plurality of load ribs spaced equally between adjacent strap ribs, wherein the load ribs are configured to resist deformation of the base; anda plurality of feet formed between the strap ribs and the load ribs, wherein the plurality of feet comprises a resting surface of the container. 2. The container of claim 1, wherein the plurality of vertically aligned recessed columns comprises three recessed columns equally spaced around the perimeter of the sidewall, such that the sidewall comprises a circumference which is offset from a generally circular cross-sectional shape to a substantially triangular cross-sectional shape. 3. The container of claim 2, wherein each of the plurality of inwardly offset portions is offset from 0 to 30 degrees from the circular cross-sectional shape. 4. The container of claim 2, wherein the plurality of inwardly offset portions is configured to counteract outward-directed forces on the sidewall of the container due to internal pressure, such that the pressurized container assumes a substantially circular cross-sectional shape. 5. The container of claim 1, wherein the base comprises a diameter which is larger than a diameter of the shoulder, such that the base creates a single point of contact with other substantially similar containers in a production line, or in packaging. 6. The container of claim 5, wherein the diameter of the base is larger than the diameter of the shoulder by 0.5 to 4 millimeters. 7. The container of claim 5, wherein the diameter of the base is larger than the diameter of the shoulder by 1 to 2 millimeters. 8. The container of claim 1, wherein the plurality of strap ribs comprises three strap ribs equally spaced around the circumference of the base, and wherein the plurality of load ribs comprises six load ribs, such that two load ribs are equally spaced between each pair of adjacent strap ribs. 9. The container of claim 1, wherein the base further comprises a gate centered on a longitudinal axis of the container, a wall extending from the gate toward the resting surface of the container, and a dome immediately surrounding the gate, wherein the dome is a portion of the wall of the base that slopes more steeply toward the resting surface of the container. 10. The container of claim 9, wherein each of the strap ribs has a base end which terminates in the dome, near the periphery of the gate. 11. The container of claim 9, wherein each of the strap ribs begins at the base end substantially parallel to the resting surface of the container and then extends along an upward curved path, a first portion of the upward curved path comprising a first radius, a second portion of the upward curved path comprising a second radius, and a third portion of the upward curved path comprising a straight portion, wherein at a first height the first radius terminates and the second radius begins, and at a second height the straight portion connects to the sidewall end of the strap rib, and wherein the first radius and the second radius cooperate to give the strap rib and the base a spherical configuration, such that the container better accommodates internal pressure. 12. The container of claim 1, wherein each of the strap ribs further comprises two rib side walls that connect the strap rib to portions of the base and the feet, the rib side walls comprising smooth and gradual transitions into the base and the feet, such that the transitions comprise spherical features of the container.
