English term or phrase: blanks
Blanks are the mold parts used in all glass container machines for preliminary formation of glass containers.

A blank is usually a 'onbewerkt stuk' or 'stuk onafgewerkt materiaal'. As blanks are used throughout the document I wondered if there was a simpler way of putting it.
