Blow molded aseptic bottle and method

An intermediate container including a hollow sealed and imperforate body blow molded from a plastic resin and having a hard skin and a pressure deformable wall, the body completely surrounding and defining the interior of the container and a subatmospheric gas confined within the interior of the body.

A sealed container comprising a blow molded hollow and imperforate plastic body sealed closed during molding to define a hollow interior, the interior of the body being sterile, a sterile gas confined within the interior volume of the body during molding, said gas being at ambient temperature and having a pressure substantially equal to atmospheric pressure, the plastic in the body being fully stabilized and at ambient temperature, the body including an unbowed thin wall pressure deformable by small differences between ambient pressure outside of the thin wall and the pressure of the gas within the interior volume of the body on the inside side of the thin wall, and a thick wall not deformable by small differences between ambient pressure outside the thick wall and the pressure of the gas within the interior of the body on the inside of the thick wall.

A container comprising a hollow imperforate body blow molded from plastic resin and conforming to the shape of a mold, the body including a thin unbowed wall deformable by slight pressure differentials on opposite sides of the wall, the interior of the body being sterile, and a sterile gas sealed within the interior of the body while within the mold, the plastic body being at ambient temperature and stable, the gas being at ambient temperature and having a pressure substantially equal to ambient pressure.
