FAQs – Plastic Container Moulds for Food Packaging

1. What materials are used for food container injection moulds?

We typically use high-quality tool steels like S136, H13, or 2316 which offer excellent corrosion resistance and polishability, essential for maintaining food-grade hygiene standards.

2. Can you develop moulds for thin-wall food containers?

Yes, we specialize in thin-wall packaging moulds that require high injection pressures and fast cycle times while maintaining structural strength and uniform wall thickness.

3. Do your moulds support multi-cavity production?

Absolutely. We design multi-cavity moulds (e.g., 2, 4, 8, or 16 cavities) to maximize production efficiency and reduce the cost per unit for high-volume food packaging.

4. How do you ensure the lids fit perfectly on the containers?

We use high-precision CNC machining and rigorous trial testing to ensure that the shrinkage rates are perfectly calculated, resulting in an airtight and secure fit between the lid and container.

5. Is branding or logo integration possible in the mould?

Yes, we can integrate custom logos, recycling symbols, and branding text directly into the mould cavity using laser engraving or EDM for a sharp and permanent finish.
