Top Grade Molds introduces a co-injection mold that offers a greener alternative to customers. Its efficiency and precision enables the production of various container sizes, including 5-g, 90-mL and 70-mL pails.
According to Top Grade Molds, what truly distinguishes this product is its fully encapsulated design combining polypropylene (PP) with 35-40% post-consumer recycled (PCR) materials. This distinctive blend not only reduces the reliance on virgin plastics but also promotes environmental sustainability without compromising on expected quality and performance.
The integration of IML wraparound labels further enhances branding opportunities while also contributing to the co-injection mold’s visual appeal.
Attendees can also see the company’s 4+4 thin-wall container and lid family mold, featured at the Engel booth, which exemplifies Top Grade Molds’ dedication to efficiency and eco-friendliness. By producing both components simultaneously on the same machine, production is streamlined and energy consumption and material waste are reduced.
