A plate (1) of plastics material is formed e.g. by extrusion and rolling with a number of grooves (3) which define residual thin webs (4) so that consumer articles, e.g. hoops for supporting tunnel cloches or U-shaped pegs (25, 26,) for pegging sheets (27) to the ground (28), or price tags for foodstuffs, or recesses for eating implements in plate shaped picnic packs, can easily be separated from the plate by tearing or breaking off, at least after an initial cut or tear. The ends (6) of the plate can be cut at an angle 7 so that the articles have pointed ends. Recesses 19 may be pressed into the articles during formation of the plate so that the articles bend preferentially at selected points. <IMAGE> |
