Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is thin-wall injection molding?
A: Thin-wall molding produces packaging with wall thickness 0.4-0.8mm at very fast cycle times (4-6 seconds). It requires specialized mold design with optimized cooling and high injection speeds.
Q: Are your molds IML compatible?
A: Yes. We design molds with IML automation integration, including label placement pockets and static charge features for reliable label positioning during molding.
Q: What is a stack mold?
A: A stack mold has two parting lines, doubling cavity count without requiring a larger injection machine. It effectively doubles output per machine cycle.
Q: Do you use hot runner systems on packaging molds?
A: Yes. We use valve gate hot runner systems for thin-wall packaging to ensure fast fill, consistent part weight, and zero cold runner waste for food-grade production.
