China plastic cap mold manufacturer
cosmetic cap mold processing
Injection molding is a method of quickly and efficiently producing large quantities of identical cosmetic bottle caps. One advantage of injection molded cosmetic bottle caps is that they can be made into a variety of shapes and sizes. Another advantage is that cosmetic bottle caps can be made from recycled plastic, which helps reduce the impact on the environment.
In this process, molten plastic is injected into the cosmetic bottle cap mold, cooled, and hardened to form the desired shape. The mold is then opened and the cosmetic bottle cap is ejected.

Frequently asked questions
What is a cosmetic bottle cap mold?
A cosmetic bottle cap mold is a special mold that is used to make cosmetic bottle caps. Bottle caps are usually made of plastic, and molds help to mold the plastic into the desired shape. Cosmetic bottle cap molds come in various sizes and shapes, depending on the type of bottle used.
The requirements for cosmetic bottle caps are exquisite and beautiful appearance, unique feel and texture, and ingenious and meticulous design. Cosmetic cream bottle cap products are the most widely used in cosmetic packaging. The plastic parts themselves must not have injection defects such as weld marks, bubbles, deformation, color difference, burrs, etc.
Considerations for efficient, precise and durable cosmetic bottle cap molds
Molds help mass produce cosmetic bottle caps in a short time. Molds are important for manufacturing cosmetic bottle caps for the following reasons.
- High precision: Ensure the accuracy of cavity processing, so that the tolerance of each cavity size is controlled within 0.015, and ensure the interchangeability of the cavity. The mold frame processing accuracy also needs to be improved, and the tolerance of the center distance of each cavity is controlled within ±0.015.
- Surface treatment: The mold needs to be achieved using high diamond polishing. It is also recommended to use flash chrome to protect the surface, so that the mold can run longer between maintenance inspections and produce more flawless and uniformly sized parts.
- Durable structure: Made of durable mold base material (steel or aluminum) to extend the life of the mold and achieve efficient heat dissipation during the molding process. For high quality and mass production, we recommend using S136 steel and NAK80 steel
- Efficient runner system: It has a well-designed runner system to optimize material flow and ensure consistent and perfect molding results.
- Optimize the gate system: Provide a customizable gate system that can accurately control the material entry point and size to achieve the best molding results. The gate is generally designed on the back of the product or the inner surface of the bottle cap, and is covered with a gasket or other parts.
- Plastic bottle cap ejection method: 1. The plastic bottle cap is ejected by forced demolding, which is relatively simple in the design of the ejection system. However, if the cooling time of this forced demolding design is not enough, it is easy to damage the thread of the plastic bottle cap, resulting in failure to assemble with the bottle body. 2. When the bottle cap thread height is high and the plastic material is more rigid, a gear system needs to be designed to eject the bottle cap from the cavity. The structure of the gear system requires the design of the arrangement of gears, transmission gears, the center shaft with the gear system, and the ejection system. It is necessary to calculate how many turns the gear needs to be removed and how much length the transmission rack needs to pass. The steel of the unscrewing device must be made of high-end material and heat-treated to avoid wear during short-term movement.
