A blow moulded plastics container 10 for storing liquid (e.g. milk) and a method of producing such a container, wherein the container comprises a body, an integral handle 22 which defines a handle eye with an aperture axis AA extending in a first direction through the body, the handle eye being taller than it is wide, the body having a footprint, the footprint defines four major sides and four major corner regions, the footprint having a longitudinal axis BB extending in a direction perpendicular to said first direction, 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, the other two corner regions being asymmetrically arranged about the longitudinal axis. The blow moulding involves a parison in a mould tool 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. |
