A plastic container mould is a tool used in the manufacturing of plastic containers. It is a specialized type of mould used to shape plastic into a container shape. The mould is typically made from steel or aluminum and is designed to withstand the high pressure and temperature required for the plastic injection moulding process.
The process of making a plastic container using a mould typically starts with designing the container shape using CAD software. The design is then used to create a steel or aluminum mould, which is typically made using CNC machining or EDM (Electrical Discharge Machining) techniques. The mould is then used in an injection moulding machine to heat and inject plastic into the mould. The plastic is then cooled and solidified in the mould, and the finished container is removed from the mould.
Plastic container moulds can be used to produce a wide range of container sizes and shapes, such as cups, bottles, jars, and tubs, which can be used for a variety of applications, including food and beverage packaging, consumer goods packaging, and industrial packaging. Due to its versatility, durability and cost-effectiveness, Plastic container moulds are widely used in the packaging industry.
