ABSTRACT:
A container body is produced from a blank, by first forming the blank from sheet stock in hexagonal shape, thereby eliminating scrap from the blanking process. A die ring is configured to laterally redistribute material from the point areas of the hexagon into intermediate areas during the draw-and-iron can forming process, usefully incorporating this material instead of trimming it.
