Claim 0:
1. A container comprising:
a bottom comprising a bottom surface and a bottom perimeter, the bottom perimeter at a first distance from a central axis of the bottom surface;
a sidewall surface extending upwardly from the bottom perimeter at the first distance from the central axis of the bottom surface to a container bead at a second distance from the central axis of the bottom surface, the sidewall surface being located on an exterior of the container and being substantially flat; and
a corner structure extending from the bottom perimeter to an upper portion of the container and comprising:
one or more corner structure surfaces;
a first side edge along a first side of the corner structure, the first edge substantially parallel to the sidewall surface;
a second side edge along a second side of the corner structure, the second edge substantially parallel to the sidewall surface;
a first step surface extending from the sidewall surface inwardly to a first corner structure surface of the one or more corner structure surfaces, the first step surface substantially parallel to the bottom surface;
a second step surface extending from the first corner structure surface inwardly to a second corner structure surface of the one or more corner structure surfaces, the second step surface substantially parallel to the bottom surface; and
one or more ribs extending along an external surface of the corner structure, wherein one of the one or more ribs extends vertically between the first step surface and the second step surface, the one of the one or more ribs extending to a lowermost height that is less than a height of both the first step surface and the second step surface such that the one of the one or more ribs comprises a corner rib overhang along a bottom edge of the corner structure, the bottom edge defining a lowermost height of the corner structure, wherein all heights are determined relative to the bottom surface of the bottom of the container.
