A method of producing a plastics milk container involves blow moulding a parison in a mould tool configured to produce a container (10) having a body (12) with a handle eye (24) which defines a central axis extending in a first direction (AA) through the body, a footprint with a longitudinal (BB) axis extending in a direction perpendicular to said first direction, wherein the footprint defines four major sides (1,2) and four major corner regions (3,4), each corner region arranged between a respective two of said major sides, the longitudinal axis extending through a centre point of the footprint, and the maximum radial extent of the footprint from the centre point being greatest where the footprint intersects the longitudinal axis, corresponding to the location of two of said corner regions, so that the extent of parison stretch away from the mould tool part line is less than the extent of parison stretch along the part line. |
