Blow molding is a reliable plastic manufacturing method for producing hollow plastic parts, such as bottles and other containers. Blow molding allows custom plastic molding specialists to utilize the full range of benefits that make high-density polyethylene (HDPE) the preferred material for many industrial and commercial applications. Reliable production of HDPE bottles is necessary to fulfill the packaging needs for companies making consumer, industrial, chemical, institutional, and food products.
Green Bay Plastics fulfills the requirements of numerous companies reliant on HDPE bottles with our extensive in-house tooling, value-added services, and experience in the plastic manufacturing sector.
Overview of HDPE Bottles
HDPE is a thermoplastic polymer resin. Its versatility makes HDPE one of the most widely used materials for thin-walled plastic products. The high strength-to-density ratio of HDPE also reduces costs by minimizing the amount of material required for an effective finished container. HDPE’s long list of useful attributes includes its high melting point and tensile strength, and impact and chemical resistance making it the preferred material for bottles and other hollow packaging in the food and beverage, health and beauty, and chemical and industrial supply industries. HDPE can be safely and readily recycled.
Process
Quality HDPE custom bottle manufacturing service begins with discussions to get a thorough understanding of the customer’s needs. We work closely with our customers to meet their requirements including bottle dimensions, neck finish, special features of the bottle design, order quantities, packing, and any additional services that may be needed.
After assessing and addressing the bottle design and requirements we can proceed with mold tooling, if needed, or use our stock tooling to begin to manufacture containers to our customer’s specifications.
