Abstract
Systems and methods for making a reduced material container () are provided that hold a preform () adjacent to an open end () of the preform (), stretch the preform (), close a mold () about the stretched preform () to form a truncated preform (), and introduce a pressurized fluid () into the truncated preform () to expand the truncated preform () and form the reduced material container (). A stretch rod () can be inserted into the preform () to mechanically stretching the preform (). The mold () accepts the preform () at a first end () thereof, has an open state and a closed state, and the closed state forms a cavity () defining an internal surface () having a second end () located remotely from the first end (). A first length () is defined by a distance between the first end () and the second end (), the stretch rod () mechanically stretching the preform () to a second length (), the second length () being greater than the first length ().
