An apparatus (1) and method for filling liquid-phased extruded containers (36) comprises injecting the extruded material (3) into a die head (10) forming a tubular shape. The die head is hollow, or bored, from its back end to its front where the extruded material egresses to form the extradite (pre-container) tube shape. A means for introducing a separable insert (12) through the die head bore (26) permits the insert to be encased within the tube while the thermoplastic material is still in its liquid or molten phase. Pinch rollers (32) seal the tube at ends opposite that of the insert while avoiding the insert, while the line of sealed containers is pulled by the gear rollers (30) through a water cooling bath (38). A die punch stamp (40) cuts the pinches, or sealed, sections of the containers separating them into individual, filled, singular units.
