A shaped article, a method for making it, and its use. The shaped article is formed from flat fiber material and has a bottom (2), a body (4), and an opening, which is surrounded by a circumferential flange (6). The shaped article (1) comprises a flange stabilizer (10) attached to the second flat side (18) of the flange (6) facing the bottom (2). The flange stabilizer (10) is disc-shaped and has an inner contour (12) corresponding to the desired cross-sectional shape of the shaped article (1) in the region of the opening and can be slipped over the body (4) in the region of the bottom (2) and up to the flange (6). The flat sides (16, 18) of the flange stabilizer (10) extend essentially parallel to the flange (6), defining and stabilizing the cross-sectional shape of the body (4) in the region of the opening and the flange.
A shaped article which is shaped from a flat fiber material and has a bottom (2), a body (4) and an opening, the opening being surrounded by a circumferential flange (6), characterized in that the shaped article (1) comprises a flange stabilizer (10) which is attached to a second flat side (18) of the flange (6) facing towards the bottom (2), the flange stabilizer (10) being disc-shaped and having an inner contour (12) which corresponds to the desired cross-sectional shape of the shaped article (1) in the region of the opening and can be stripped over the body (4) in the region of the bottom (2) up to the flange (6), wherein flat sides (16, 18) of the flange stabilizer (10) extend essentially parallel to the flange (6) and wherein the flange stabilizer (10) defines and stabilizes the cross-sectional shape of the body (4) in the region of the opening and the flange (6).
