Basket/ Tray/ Box Molds

This mold category covers a range of open-structure plastic products, including shopping baskets, serving trays, and utility boxes. These molds must balance structural integrity with weight efficiency, often involving detailed vented or grid-like designs.

Manufacturing such items requires molds that support high-flow plastic injection, enabling complex patterns without compromising wall thickness. Mold cores and cavities are designed to ensure uniform filling, avoid short shots, and prevent warping.

The molds are usually built with high-strength steel to withstand repeated use and abrasive plastic materials. Mold cooling systems are optimized to reduce cycle times and improve dimensional consistency. This is particularly critical when producing trays or boxes used in logistics or food service sectors.

Depending on product requirements, hot runner systems may be used for improved efficiency, especially for larger-sized items. Additionally, attention is given to handle formation, base reinforcement, and overall product weight to meet different load-bearing needs.

These molds are commonly used in sectors such as retail, warehousing, food delivery, and household storage.
