摘要

A molding tool (1) for forming a re-entrant plastic container (2) from film is split into more than two, preferably four, segments (5) that are moved back in order to allow the formed container to be removed from the mold. Optionally the segments can be moved along a curved path. A number of such tools (1) are arranged in one or more rows to form a molding station.
