Abstract
Molded articles are disclosed having a pattern formed into a surface of the article. For example, the molded article can include a facing surface and the pattern can cover greater than about 10%, such as greater than about 30% of the surface area of the facing surface. The pattern can be formed using high intensity light that reacts with an additive contained in the polymer composition used to form the article. The resulting pattern can not only have a unique and distinctive appearance but can also improve one or more properties of the molded article, such as the tactile feel of the article.
