Abstract
A molded container of plastic material. The molded container including a neck finish defining an opening into the molded container, a body extending from the neck finish and including a shoulder adjacent the neck finish, a base defining a closed end of the container, and a sidewall extending between the shoulder and the base. Formed on a surface of the container and being defined by the plastic material is a molded surface texture pattern.
Claims6
A molded container of plastic material, the molded container being formed in a mold having a surface texture pattern defined on at least a portion of the mold, the molded container comprising:
- a neck defining an opening into the molded container;
- a body extending from the finish and including a shoulder adjacent the finish, a base defining a closed end of the container, and a sidewall extending between the shoulder and the base;
- and
- a molded surface texture pattern formed on a surface of the molded container and being defined by the plastic material forming the molded container, the molded surface texture pattern having a roughness average Sa that is at least 1.67 times greater than a roughness average Sa of a comparative molded plastic container having a comparative molded surface texture pattern and being formed in the mold using pressurized air with a peak pressure of 40 bar as a blow molding medium for the comparative molded plastic container.
