A method for producing a plastic product consisting of a support (30) having protruding stem parts (36), which have at their free end a head part (38) having a wider diameter as compared to the respective stem part (36), wherein the stem parts (36) and the head parts (38) are formed in cavities (16) of a molding screen (12), which cavities are formed on the side thereof facing away from the support (30) in a shaping zone of the molding screen (12), characterized in that the shaping zone is sealed off from the environment by means of a counter-face (20) in such a way that a predeterminable quantity of air enclosed in the shaping zone exerts a counter-pressure on the plastic material introduced into the respective cavity (16) in order to support the shaping process.
