Shaped articles are manufactured from a thin band (2) of orientable plastic material by stamping the band between two dies (15, 33) having complementary profiles, these dies being carried by parallel plates (6, 27), at least one of these plates being movable with respect to the other, so as to press the plastic band around the area to be stamped or embossed. One (27) of the plates (6, 27) comprises a fixed part (29, 30) to which is fixed one (33) of the dies (15, 33) and which elastically supports a movable plate (47) cooperating with one (6) of the plates (6, 27) for pressing the plastic band during the interpenetration of the dies (15, 33) which locally deform permanently the plastic band. |
