The invention concerns a bottle (1) molded from at least one thermoplastic polymer of at least one Furan Dicarboxylic Acid (FDCA) monomer, preferably 2,5-Furan Dicarboxylic Acid (2,5-FDCA) monomer, and at least one diol monomer, preferably Monoethyleneglycol (MEG) monomer, said bottle, having a main axis (X), being provided with a body (5) and a bottom base (6) extending from a lower end of the body (5), The bottom base (6) comprises: a peripheral seat (7) defining a laying plane (8); a concave arch (10) which extends from the periphery of a central zone (11) of the bottom base (6) to the peripheral seat (7), said concave arch (10) having a rounded general shape with a concavity turned towards the outside of the container (1) and the middle point of the central zone (11) being named push-up (11a); a series of reinforcing grooves (13) which extend radially from the central zone (11) to at least the peripheral seat (7); base feet (14) located between two adjacent reinforcing grooves (13); According to the invention, the bottle bottom base (6) comprises a push-up height, defined as the height between the push-up (11a) and the laying plan (8), that is in the range of 7 to 10 mm for a bottle having a diameter (D) between 40 and 150 mm.

A container is provided. The container includes multiple sidewalls extending in a substantially vertical direction and a bottom wall. The bottom wall includes a central portion, a first curved portion and a second curved portion. The first curved portion includes a first radius of curvature with a first center of curvature located on a first side of the bottom wall of the container, while the second curved portion terminates at the sidewalls and include a second radius of curvature with a second center of curvature located on a second side of the bottom wall of the container. The container further includes multiple reinforcing ribs located on the second side, each of the reinforcing ribs having a minimum height proximate the first curved portion and a maximum height proximate the second curved portion.

Blow molded articles having a predetermined feature incorporated into the wall provided by variations in the thickness of the wall of the article corresponding to a predetermined pattern etched into the perform from which the article was formed. Also, etched performs for making blow molded articles and methods for making such performs and articles.

Method for making blow molded articles having a predetermined feature incorporated into the wall provided by variations in the thickness of the wall of the article corresponding to a predetermined pattern etched into the preform from which the article was formed.

Blow molded articles having a predetermined feature incorporated into the wall provided by variations in the thickness of the wall of the article corresponding to a predetermined pattern etched into the preform from which the article was formed. Also, etched preforms for making blow molded articles and methods for making such preforms and articles.

Method of making a blow molded article from a preform including: a) providing a preform of a thermoplastic material having a plurality of effect structures each having an effect surface having a normal with an orientation, the preform having a body with one or more walls and an opening, wherein at least a portion of the one or more walls of the preform has a three-dimensional pattern of cavities and/or protrusions thereon; and b) blow molding the preform to form a blow molded article, wherein the step of blow molding the preform changes the orientation of the normal of at least some of the effect surfaces of the effect structures to create a visual effect in at least one wall of the blow molded article.

Article having a visual effect created by selectively varying the orientation of effect structures, such as effect pigments, within the walls of the article.

A blow molded article formed from a preform having an exterior surface including at least one etched region. The article includes a body portion including one or more walls surrounding an interior space. A cavity region corresponding to the etched region in the preform is disposed on a portion of the article outer surface and a non-cavity region is disposed adjacent the cavity region. The adjacent cavity and non-cavity regions form one or more visual effects and at least one of the one or more visual effects includes a portion having a 95% Delta E Value of at least 3.0.

A plastic container includes a neck portion, a sidewall portion, and a base including a support ring that extends downward and is configured to support the container on a support surface; a first base portion that extends upwardly from the support ring; a second base portion that extends downwardly from the first base portion; and a reentrant portion that extends upwardly from the second base portion. In embodiments, the container can hold carbonated contents and the sidewall portion may be substantially smooth.
