The invention discloses a method for producing a plastic tray by utilizing a hollow blow molding machine. The method comprises the steps of sealing an original air outlet of a blowing hole in the bottom of a traditional front die of the plastic tray, and arranging five blowing needles on the forming surface of the front die by utilizing a ventilation channel of the original bottom blowing hole; clamping the bottom of a tubular hollow blank when the blank is discharged, beginning to assemble, preblowing air to the hollow position of the tubular hollow blank through a blowing port in an extruding machine at the same time, stopping preblowing air when the tubular hollow blank is expanded to the set size, and continuing assembling; at the time, the five blowing needles are slowly close to the hollow blank, firstly, the hollow blank is punctured by the longest central blowing needle so as to blow air, and secondly, the hollow blank is punctured by the corner blowing needles with the same length at four corners so as to blow air, so that simultaneous blowing from five side surfaces is realized, and the tray blank is uniformly and closely adhered to the surface of a die cavity instantly. Finally, the method for producing the plastic tray, which has the advantages of uniformity in wall thickness, high intensity, low raw material consumption, low cost, stable quality and high efficiency, is provided.
