This invention relates to a method of making a container having a separable inner lining and outer shell, and in particular to a method of forming a flexible lining for a container. This invention also relates to apparatus for use in such methods. A method of forming a flexible lining for a container comprises providing a former having a substantially flat end face and a perimeter surface extending from the end face, the former having external shape and dimensions substantially the same as the internal shape and dimensions of the container, forming a sleeve of plastics material around the perimeter surface of the former, an edge region of the sleeve extending beyond the end face of the former, heating the edge region to substantially conform the edge region to an edge portion of the end face of the former, and bonding a sheet of plastics material to the conformed edge region of the sleeve to form a base of the lining. |
