Abstract
A plastic bottle comprises a base having a chime, a dome and an annular wall extending between the chime and the dome. The annular wall extends generally parallel to a longitudinal axis of the bottle to support the dome against inverting due to internal pressure and increases the bi-axial stretching of the base during blow molding to strengthen the material of the same. A method of making the plastic bottle of the present invention is also disclosed.
