A method for producing a container for washing and/or cleaning agents from a water-soluble material, wherein the method comprises:
- a) introducing the water-soluble material into a lower part (C) of a tool (A), wherein the water-soluble material is in the form of granular material and then introduced into the lower part (C) of the tool (A) by employing an extruder;
- b) optionally, temperature-controlling the tool (A),
- c) closing the tool (A) by applying an upper part (B) of the tool (A) to the lower part (C) and building up pressure to form the container;
- and
- d) filling the container with a filling material with the container remaining in the tool (A) during filling,.
- wherein the container is formed by compression molding and wherein the container is dimensionally stable and not changed by the step of filling (d).
