The container may also have a lateral wall section for forming a circumferential, lateral wall integrally formed with the container bottom from the same material. The container may also have a wall for forming a stacking edge formed as a hollow profile, circumferentially protruding beyond an external contour of the lateral wall of the container. In a molding position for forming the container, the wall is arranged circumferentially protruding around an entire external side of the positive mold. The wall is movable out of the molding position into a demolding position. A method for producing the container by the tool is also provided.
