We build custom blow moulds for PET bottles and containers in a wide range of shapes and sizes - beverage, personal-care, household and industrial packaging. Neck finishes, wall-thickness control and parison design are reviewed at the DFM stage so containers form right the first time.
Lead Time
Blow mould projects are scheduled after DFM review, because tooling time depends on cavity count, parison configuration and container volume. You receive a firm T1 date in the quotation before we start.
Mould Steels We Run
Pre-hardened: P20, 738H (1.2738), 1.2311, 1.2312. Through-hardened: H13 (1.2344) at 52-54 HRC. Corrosion-resistant: S136 (1.2083 ESR) - the usual choice for PET tooling exposed to moisture. Standard mould base S45C; 2085 stainless base for anti-rust requirements.
MOQ and Production Flexibility
Moulds: 1 set minimum. Moulded parts: from 1,000-1,500-piece pilot runs up to monthly capacity planning in the millions.
Sample Policy
T1 machine time and basic material cost are included in the mould price - no separate trial fee. Samples ship by international courier (DHL/FedEx) at the customer cost (EXW) or as a separately quoted line. 3D-printed prototypes with CMF finishing are about USD 125 per set, delivered in around 5 days, 100% prepaid.
Quality Control You Can Verify
Every tool passes a fixed inspection chain: steel hardness verification, electrode measurement, core and cavity dimension measurement, then final sample measurement. Machining-only mould inserts ship with a complete CMM dimension report, 100% verified against your 3D drawing tolerances. In-house metrology: CMM (Serein, Tesa), 2D projector, hardness testers, height gauges.
Warranty and After-Sales
300,000-shot mould life warranty under normal operation and regular maintenance. Keep the mould running in our plant and daily maintenance is free for the life of the tool. If you move the mould out, settle the balance and the transfer fee, and production risk and maintenance transfer to your side.
Equipment
High-speed CNC machining centres (Makino, Charmilles) with 4- and 5-axis capability, slow wire-cut EDM (WEDM-LS), precision EDM and optical curve grinding. Measurement by CMM (Serein, Tesa), 2D projector, hardness testers and height gauges.
