A method of producing a plastics milk container involves blow molding a parison in a mold tool configured to produce a container having a body with a handle eye which defines a central axis extending in a first direction through the body, and a footprint with a longitudinal axis extending in a direction perpendicular to the first direction. The footprint defines four major sides and four major corner regions, each corner region arranged between a respective two of the major sides. The longitudinal axis extends through a center point of the footprint, and the maximum radial extent of the footprint from the center point is greatest where the footprint intersects the longitudinal axis, corresponding to the location of two of the corner regions, so that the extent of parison stretch away from the mold tool split line is less than the extent of parison stretch along the split line.
