Abstract
A bowl-shaped container has a rim of a bottom and the rim is hollow. The container is made of a thermoplastic resin sheet, and wherein the hollow rim is formed by folding the thermoplastic resin sheet including a side wall surface and a bottom wall surface continuous with each other into the shape of a bag and by welding the sheet at the wall surface sides. The body of the container may have a plurality of ribs protruding outward and no slit-like recess in its inner circumferential face. The ribs are formed by thrusting the thermoplastic resin sheet into a plurality of grooves formed in a forming female die.
