A process for varying the appearance of a container is disclosed, the process comprises injection molding a polymer preform having a non-reactive gas entrapped within the walls thereof, cooling the preform to a temperature below the polymer softening temperature, reheating the preform to a predetermined temperature greater than the polymer softening temperature, and blow molding the reheated preform, to prepare a container consisting essentially of a micro cellular foamed polymer having a non-reactive gas contained within the micro cellular foam cells, wherein the appearance of the container is varied based on the predetermined temperature. |
