[0077]Examples of embodiments are described below with the aid of the figures. In the figures, elements which are identical or similar, or have identical effects, are designated with identical reference signs, and repeated description of these elements is in part dispensed with in the description below, in order to avoid redundancy.

[0078]In FIGS. 1 to 4, a device 1 for manufacturing plastic containers and for filling them with a fill product is shown schematically. For manufacturing the plastic containers, a blow mold 2 is provided, which has a cavity 20 with an inner wall 22 that corresponds to the outer contours of the plastic container that is to be manufactured. In the blow mold 2, a plastic container can be manufactured in a manner known in the art from a heated preform by means of blow molding or stretch blow molding. In the stretch blow molding process, the heated preform is pre-stretched with a stretching rod and simultaneously pre-inflated, then fully blow molded by means of p
