A method of molding a collapsible, foam plastic container (2); the method employs two half-molds defining a molding chamber (5) negatively reproducing the container (2) in an erect work configuration, and forms a hinge (14; 15) for each lateral wall (7; 8) of the container (2) when molding the container (2); each hinge (14; 15) being formed by a parting member (45) which is inserted through the molding chamber (5) at the hinge (14; 15) to be formed, and by a compression member (53; 61) opposite the parting member (45) and which is moved towards the parting member (45) to form, on the lateral wall (7; 8), a small-section, higher-density portion defining the respective hinge (14; 15). |
