Plastic collapsible basket molds from China manufacturer
- We strictly control quality, time, and cost to achieve a win-win situation. All basket mold designs are double-checked with the customer before processing, ensuring that 95% of molds pass the test on the first try.
- To ensure mold quality, we also conduct mold strength analysis, mold flow analysis, and the rationality of the mold ejection, cooling, and guide systems. We also document the specifications of the mold spare parts, consider the customer's machine selection, and implement special requirements.
- To reduce cycle time and save costs, we must optimize cooling. For collapsible basket molds, we utilize an excellent cooling channel design within the molding area.
- If you are considering purchasing an injection molding machine for baskets, we recommend a high-speed machine with a screw speed greater than 350 mm/min.
- Hot runner systems are crucial for both large and lightweight baskets. They ensure even filling of the plastic material.

How to choose a collapsible basket mold ?
YUCO is committed to providing customers with high-quality collapsible basket molds and products, along with satisfactory service, through innovation, customer-centricity, and continuous improvement.

We employ state-of-the-art methods and a customer-centric approach to strategically position your product in the market. We match colors and textures to geometric shapes for a uniform and eye-catching result.
Developing collapsible baskets
You can provide 2D or 3D drawings or send us samples directly. We’ll scan the samples, create a 3D model of the product, and then design the mold drawings.
We can use Unigraphics, SolidWorks, AutoCAD, and Pro/ENGINEER for mold production. We emphasize the importance of input from experience to achieve functional and viable molded products.
collapsible basket mold design
We provide innovative technical solutions for mold design and implement them with a highly skilled team and state-of-the-art IT resources. Using our injection molding software, we can create designs and transform them into precise molds, precisely meeting your folding basket shape and texture requirements.
During the design process for plastic injection molded collapsible baskets, we focus on the mold cycle, parting line, wall thickness, venting, and other processes. By combining gas-assisted molding with computer-controlled automatic mold change and insertion, we continuously refine and develop mature technical knowledge and experience in collapsible basket production.
Mold manufacturing
For all molds, high-speed operation relies on precision machining and precise guides for the moving parts. Otherwise, the high-speed performance of collapsible basket molds is impossible.
We do not use manual machining, and instead heat-treat the mold steel to the correct hardness. Furthermore, our high-speed CNC machine tools achieve an accuracy of 0.02 mm.
Mold steel recommendations
When manufacturing a mold, it’s important to select high-quality mold steel for the mold base and the main mold steel (i.e., the cavity and core), and high-toughness steel for some inserts. Choosing the right steel ensures the durability of mold components.
Not all molds are suitable for high hardness, as excessive hardness can lead to fracture. Choosing the right hardness is the best choice.
- Generally, we recommend using S45c steel for the mold base and 718H nitriding for the core, cavity, and slide. This provides a mold life of at least one million cycles.
- If the mold base is made of S45c steel and the core, cavity, and slide are nitrided with P20, the product can be produced up to 500,000 times.
- For quantities under 200,000 pieces, all standard steels can also be heat treated.
Pre-production collapsible basket mold maintenance
The lifespan and performance of collapsible basket molds depend on proper maintenance. Following these guidelines will help extend the life of your collapsible basket mold.
- Clean the mold surface from oil and rust, and inspect the mold cooling holes for foreign matter.
- Inspect the gate for residual material.
- Inspect the fixed platen to confirm that the screw clamps are tightened.
- After securing the basket mold to the injection molding machine, perform the injection molding operation.
- Observe the movement of each component: for any abnormalities, wear on moving parts such as guide pins, ejector pins, and slides, proper lubrication, and stroke…
- The mold’s precision and usability depend, in part, on lubrication and calibration.
