Disclosed is a method and apparatus for forming multi-directionally oriented plastic articles by accumulating a body of plasticized thermoplastic material in an amount at least sufficient to form the desired article, and advancing the material under pressure from said body forward and through an orifice. The material is non-linearly sheared while being advanced from the body toward the orifice and prior to its issuance from the orifice to induce orientation stresses into the material, and during shearing the material is at a temperature which is conducive to orientation. The orientation stresses are frozen into the material when the material is formed to a desired configuration exteriorly of the orifice by known plastic forming techniques, such as extrusion, blow molding, injection molding, compression molding, thermoforming and the like. During such forming, additional orientation stresses may be induced in the material and superimposed upon those stresses previously introduced thereinto.
