A method for producing a polylactic acid (PLA) shaped article by thermoforming and thermoformed PLA articles. The method for producing a shaped article includes: heating a sheet of crystallizable polylactic acid (PLA)-based resin having a ratio of cold crystallization over total melting enthalpy (ΔHcc/ΔHm) greater than 0.70 as determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), wherein heating includes a heating step the sheet is heated from a surface temperature of at most 80° C. to a surface temperature of at least 90° C. to at most 150° C. at heating rate of 5° C. to 25° C. per second, to provide heated sheet having a ratio of cold crystallization over total melting enthalpy (ΔHcc/ΔHm) greater than 0.5 as determined by DSC; and immediately after heating, forming heated sheet to provide a shaped article by means of a mold having a temperature of at least 70° C. and at most 120° C.

A transparent plastic integrally molded goblet has a cup-shaped part, a columnar first leg and a disc-shaped first base integrally molded from transparent plastics. The bottom edge of the cup-shaped part extends downwards to form the first leg. The bottom end of the first leg integrally forms the first base. The cup-shaped part has a circumferential wall which encloses the circumference of a first space. The top edge of the circumferential wall forms an annular first ring frame, and the central part of bottom edge of the first base downwards forms a first convex pin. The integral molding of transparent plastics can enhance the appearance integrity of the goblet, the manufacture of the goblet is easy and the product yield is increased.
