A method of forming a plastics material container having a hollow handle and a finger aperture between the handle and a main body of the container, the method consisting in the steps of: blowing a heated, injection moulded preform to a preliminary shape in a preliminary blow mould; separating the preliminarily shaped container from the preliminary mould; re-heating the preliminarily shaped container to elevated temperature; moving together the preliminarily shaped container to a secondary blow mould for imparting finish formed shape to the container, the secondary mould impressing concavity into the container in the region of the finger aperture; blowing the heated, preliminarily shaped container in the secondary mould to impart the finish formed shape to the container; separating the container from the secondary mould; welding together opposite side walls of the container around the finger aperture; and cutting out the finger aperture. |
