White goniochromatic packaging material. The package wall containing a composition useful for blocking light in the spectrum ranges from about 200 nm to about 1200 nm. The composition has polyester, polymethylpentene, and a light scattering pigment. The composition optionally includes at least one other colorant. Each of the polymethylpentene and the light scattering pigment comprise about 0.1 to about 0.5 weight percent of the wall. The polyester and polymethylpentene are immiscible and when subjected to orientation stresses the composition produces a goniochromatic packaging article.

A cooler capable of achieving a sufficient temperature gradient between an inside of the cooler and an outside of the cooler such that at least a partial vacuum forms within the cooler may include an enclosure defined by at least one wall and a lid. The lid may form a relatively airtight seal with a wall of the cooler when in a closed position. A vacuum release assembly may be disposed in one of the walls or lid of the cooler, the assembly being capable of reducing a pressure differential between the enclosure and the outside of the cooler.
