I was going to speculate that the dimensions of the bottom could be important for structural reasons, so if that was the case, a volume-adjustment dimple wouldn’t be a good idea there.

The arch in the bottom serves a structural purpose, but the tolerances are definitely large enough to accommodate volume calibration.

Labels that are the same shape as the dimples.
