Paneling is best described as which characteristic?

Paneling describes a deformation of the can wall where the body appears as flat panels, creating two or more ridges. This means the sides are not smooth round but broken into flat sections, giving a panel-like look. It signals the container’s integrity is compromised and the product should be rejected because the deformation can affect sealing and safety. It’s not a dent (which is a single localized indent), not rust (surface corrosion), and not interior discoloration (an inside issue that paneling does not describe).
