    Abstract: Described herein is a process for obtaining a container (100) of a given shape starting from sheet material, comprising the steps of: - providing a sheet (110); - providing a mould (20) having a forming cavity (20A), which defines a reference axis (R) and has a shape corresponding to said given shape of said container (100); - positioning said sheet (110) over said forming cavity (20A); - providing a forming device (40) having forming means (41, 42) arranged on the side of said sheet opposite to said forming cavity, and operating said means for inserting said sheet (110) into said forming cavity (20A) to deform it until a container blank is obtained (101) having a shape approximating said given shape; and - blowing a gas under pressure into said forming cavity (20A) to deform said container blank (101) until said container (100) with said given shape is obtained. The process described enables use of sheet material of reduced thickness as compared to conventional processes.
