While a portion of a blank made of molecularly orientable plastic resin, which is to be formed into the flange portion of a cup-shaped container, and another portion of the blank, which is to be formed into the bottom wall portion of the container are individually compressed at the molecularly orientable temperature, the portion to be formed into the bottom wall portion is introduced into a die cavity, to form the side wall portion of the container with the material extended by the compressing operation, thereby to form a cup-shaped container with a flange portion.

A method for making a molecularly oriented plastic container with a flange portion, a side wall portion and a bottom wall portion, a ratio of the height of said side wall portion to the diameter thereof being about 2 to 3, comprising: a. preparing a blank of molecularly orientable plastic resin; b.

A method for making a molecularly oriented plastic container with a flange portion, a side wall portion and a bottom wall portion, a ratio of the height of said side wall portion to the diameter thereof being about 2 to 3, comprising: a. preparing a blank of molecularly orientable plastic resin; b. preparing a die having a first cavity, the inside diameter and height of which are not smaller than the inside diameter and thickness of said blank, respectively, and a second cavity having an inside diameter substantially equal to the outside diameter of said side wall portion and a height larger than the height of said side wall portion, said second cavity merging through a shoulder portion with said first cavity; c. preparing a hollow pad adapted to compress a portion of said blank on said shoulder portion to form said flange portion, a first plunger having an outside diameter substantially equal to the inside diameter of said side wall portion and adapted to slide through said hollow pad into said second cavity, and a second plunger having an outside diameter substantially equal to the inside diameter of said second cavity and slidable in said second cavity in confrontation with said first plunger; d. placing a portion of said blank, which is to be formed into said flange portion, on said shoulder portion; and e. maintaining said blank at a molecularly orientable temperature while compressing said blank between said first and second plungers and between said pad and said shoulder portion, said first and second plungers being simultaneously introduced into said second cavity for a distance about 2 to 3 times as large as the inside diameter of said second cavity; f. so that the thickness of said portion which is to be formed into said flange portion is reduced to the thickness of said flange portion of said plastic container, the thickness of said portion of said blank which has been placed on said second cavity is reduced to the thickness of said bottom wall portion, and said side wall portion is formed with the molecularly oriented resin extruded out of between said first and second plungers, in the gap between said first plunger and said second cavity.
