ABSTRACT:
An efficient and cost-effective method of designing and manufacturing a molded container having highly artistic sculptural relief. Computer software is utilized to design a skin shape, create artwork designs, add relief to the artwork designs, and apply the artwork designs to the container skin to develop a desired container. For example, design data is utilized to make molds, such as blow molds, which, in turn are utilized to make containers.
