Abstract: A method for making a hollow plastic article having a separate full ring-shaped member bonded to the article within the blow mold. Separate halves of the ring-shaped member are inserted into respective halves of the blow mold and such member halves are joined to form a full ring when the blow mold halves are closed. A parison is blow molded within the closed mold and bonds to the ring-shaped member held in the mold.
