What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An integrally molded container comprising a structured cured varnish coating that is in direct contact with the surface of said container, wherein said structured cured varnish coating produces one or more visual effects. 
     
     
         2 . The integrally molded container of  claim 1  wherein said container has a fitment for a closure. 
     
     
         3 . The integrally molded container of  claim 1  wherein the container is a consumer product or package or a component thereof. 
     
     
         4 . The integrally molded container of  claim 1  wherein said container includes at least one curved surface and all or a portion of said varnish coating is in direct contact with said curved surface. 
     
     
         5 . The integrally molded container of  claim 1  wherein said container includes at least one ruled surface and all or a portion of said varnish coating is in direct contact with said ruled surface. 
     
     
         6 . The integrally molded container of  claim 1  wherein said container includes at least one planar surface and all or a portion of said varnish coating is in direct contact with said planar surface. 
     
     
         7 . The integrally molded container of  claim 1  further comprising an article selected from the group consisting of covers, caps, and lids wherein said article comprises a structured cured varnish coating that is in direct contact with the surface of said article. 
     
     
         8 . The integrally molded container of  claim 1  wherein the structured cured varnish coating covers less than 80% of the surface of the container. 
     
     
         9 . The integrally molded container of  claim 1  wherein said container has the dimensions height (H), width (W) and depth (D) wherein each dimension H, W and D has a length of at least 2 millimeters. 
     
     
         10 . The integrally molded container of  claim 1  wherein said container comprises one or more thermoplastic polymers. 
     
     
         11 . An integrally molded container comprising:
 a. one or more inks; and   b. a structured cured varnish coating;   wherein said varnish coating, said inks, or a combination thereof, are in direct contact with the surface of said container, and further, wherein said structured cured varnish coating produces one or more visual effects.   
     
     
         12 . The integrally molded container of  claim 11  wherein the container is a consumer product or package or a component thereof. 
     
     
         13 . The integrally molded container of  claim 11  wherein said container includes at least one curved surface and all or a portion of said varnish coating is in direct contact with said curved surface. 
     
     
         14 . An article selected from the group consisting of covers, caps, lids, housings and handles wherein the article comprises a structured cured varnish coating that is in direct contact with the surface of said article, wherein said structured cured varnish coating produces one or more visual effect. 
     
     
         15 . The article of  claim 14  wherein said article is integrally molded. 
     
     
         16 . The article of  claim 14  further comprising a hinge or a portion of a hinge. 
     
     
         17 . The article of  claim 14  wherein said article comprises one or more thermoplastic polymers. 
     
     
         18 . An impact extruded article having a three dimensional shape comprising a structured cured varnish coating that is in direct contact with the surface of said article, wherein said structured cured varnish coating produces one or more visual effects. 
     
     
         19 . The impact extruded article of  claim 18  wherein the article is a consumer product or package or a component thereof. 
     
     
         20 . The impact extruded article of  claim 18  wherein the article is a container or tube. 
     
     
         21 . A impact extruded article having a three dimensional shape comprising:
 a. one or more inks; and   b. a structured cured varnish coating;   wherein said varnish coating, said inks, or a combination thereof, are in direct contact with the surface of said article, and further, wherein said structured cured varnish coating produces one or more visual effects.   
     
     
         22 . The impact extruded article of  claim 21  wherein the article is a consumer product or package or component thereof.
