Abstract
Ways to produce a container () having a shaped tail () are provided that include blow molding a precursor having a tail () and shaping the tail () to form the shaped tail (). Various types of blow molding can employ various types of precursors having tails (). Injection blow molding can be used where a preform () having a tail () is optionally longitudinally stretched and is expanded with a gas or a liquid. Extrusion blow molding can be used where a parison () having a tail () is expanded. A tail () shaping means can be part of the blow molding process or can be employed after the container () is produced from the precursor having the tail (). The shaped tail () can impart functionality to the container (), including where the tail () is shaped into a coupling point that can serve as an attachment point, hanging point, or hook, for example.
