Process for manufacturing shaped packaging

Device for manufacturing cold-formed shaped forms of packaging with at least one recess from a metal plastic-laminate in which the laminate is held between a retaining tool and a die exhibiting at least one opening, and in one or more steps stamping tools with low-friction shape-forming surfaces are driven into the die openings causing the laminate to be formed into a shaped form of packaging featuring one or more recesses, which comprises:

• the die and the region tool featuring facing edge regions that clamp the laminate between the edge of the die and the edge of the retaining tool in a manner that prevents it from being stretched;
• at least one first stamping tool for pre-forming the laminate in at least one step up to at least 100% of the final depth of the recesses, thereby drawing the laminate over the shoulders of the die into the die openings which lie within a shoulder region in the die;
• whereby the surface of the shoulder region with respect to the edge region of the die which lies 0.01 to 10 mm lower and the laminate is at least one of drawn and stretched, sliding or flowing over the surface of the shoulder region;
• wherein said at least one first stamping tool and and at least one second stamping tool exhibit low-friction shape-forming surfaces, wherein the low-friction shape forming surfaces have friction of 0.05 to 2.1.
