A container (1) has a soft and pliable side wall (2) formed of a heat- shrinkable film and a bottom (3) formed of a stiff material. The container may be of various cross- sections, and may have a strip fastening closure or handles. One method for manufacturing such a container comprises heat sealing a heat-shrinkable tube (2) onto a bottom plate (3), Figures 5(a) and 5(b). In another method, a tube (2a) of film has a closed bottom (6) which is heat-shrunk over a former (20), Figures 7(a) and 7(b). <IMAGE> |
