Abstract
A container having enhanced wall integrity is provided that includes a sidewall having a polygonal cross-sectional shape and an alignment structure formed therein. The alignment structure is adapted for orienting the container with respect to a second container such that the panel sections of the containers become parallel with one another, and the containers may be fully nested one within the other. The alignment structure may include a generally parabolic-shape protrusion that extends radially outwardly relative from the sidewall to form peaks along an external surface of the container and valleys along an inner surface of the container. The peaks are adapted to direct corners of the first container's sidewall toward the corners of the second container's sidewall in order to orient the containers as they are stacked.
