Choosing a Molding Process

Whether you are designing custom carrying cases, packaging, or other products, you want to make sure you choose the right molding process. Many companies have to decide between injection molding and blow molding. Deciding between blow molded versus injection molded will depend on the type of product you are selling.

If you are creating a rigid product, consider injection molding. Injection molding creates solid parts. Products that require one solid wall respond best to injection molding. Some of the most common injection molded products are hair combs and bottle caps.

If the product requires more flexibility, use a blow molding process to design. Blow molded products are structural and can hold liquid. The most common product designed using a blow molded process is a bottle. However, a slew of other products benefit from a blow molding process such as fuel tanks, coolers, and stadium seats.

The most difficult part of injection molding is creating the mold. After an error-free mold is designed, the rest of the process is routine. Blow molds allow for more design freedom. No matter what molding process is chosen, quality control is the most important aspect.
