A method and apparatus for forming containers is disclosed. The apparatus includes a die (100, 170, 171) for forming a side wall with tightly radiused corners around a mandrel (91). The mandrel (91) is adjustable between a forming configuration and a discarge configuration and the side wall is formed with the mandrel in its forming configuration. An end wall (13, 53) is sealed to the side wall by an eight-piece sealing tool (120, 122, 150, 160) to form a complete container. The mandrel is then adjusted to its discharge configuration to facilitate discharge of the container and to feed another end wall to the mandrel. |
