An aerosol type container wherein a separate product bag of plastics material is provided. The bag is of a larger size than the opening in which the valve cup is seated and thus must be gathered or pleated to pass through that reduced diameter opening. The initially gathered or pleated bag material is compressively engaged between the top curl defining the opening and the valve cup and is heated to a molding and bonding temperature so that a molded ring conforming to the adjacent portions of the top curl and the valve seat is formed, this part eliminating the usual need for a compound or other sealant between the valve cup and the top curl.

A tool pack includes a cradle (30) that defines a space (36) into which ironing die assemblies (80, 100, 106) and a plurality of lubricating rings (78, 102, 104) each associated with an ironing ring are mounted. A lubricant manifold (152) is configured so that the lubricating rings can be manipulated into position to provide communication between the rings and the manifold. The cradle has a pair of spaced locator bars (52) exposed in the space and a cover (40) is pivotally mounted on the cradle to close an access opening and is locked by a clamp mechanism (44). The cover has deflectable metal members (62) that engage the ironing assemblies and lubricating rings and apply pressure to force the assemblies into engagement with the locator bars and also provide sealing engagement between the manifold and the lubricating rings.
