A system (1) for manufacturing containers (5) is designed around a supporting structure (2) with which all the stations (7, 18, 19, 21, 24, 25) and the devices (14, 15, 16, 17, 20, 22, 26) needed to produce the containers are associated. The system (1) is equipped with a feed station (7) supplying a forming material (9), a scoring station (18) by which crease lines (4a) are generated, and a cutting station (19), combining to prepare a succession of blanks (4). The system (1) also includes a prefolding station (21) where each blank (4) is bent initially along the creases lines (4a), a folding station (24) where the single blank (4) is fashioned to the shape of the container (5), and a sealing or welding station (26) at which the shape of the container (5) is fixed definitively.
