Zusammenfassung:A five or six gallon blow molded plastic water bottle (10) has a regular hexaganol cross-section. The bottle (10) is preferably made of polycarbonate and has a wall thickness of between .040 and .060 inch. An intergral protrusion (26) is formed on one face of the bottle and a depression (24) is formed in a second diametrically opposite face (20b) of the bottle (10). Adjacent bottles may be stacked by inserting the protrusion (26) of one bottle into the depression (24) of an adjacent bottle. With the protrusion (26) and depression (24) of adjacent bottles (10) engaged, the adjacent faces (20a,20b) of each bottle contact each other so that the weight of the upper bottle which is borne by the lower bottle is distributed across the face. When the protrusion (26) and depression (24) of adjacent bottles are engaged, the top surface (54) of the protrusion (26) does not engage the bottom surface (28) of the depression (24), so that indica labels or the like attached to the depression are not defaced or damaged.
