A specialist in the design and manufacture of moulds for thin-walled packaging. We support European leaders in food packaging in the development of their packaging.
From single-sided moulds to two-stage moulds, or even moulds with interchangeable versions, SIMON will be a reliable and committed partner to meet your needs.
Mastery of the special required for high-speed thin-wall packaging moulds, with or without IML labels.
Reactivity and repeatability. We have a workshop equipped with modern machining equipment, a test center and an in-house metrology department.
A thin-walled packaging mold is an industrial tool used in plastic injection molding to produce lightweight food containers, often used in the fresh produce, fast-food or mass retail sectors. These moulds must enable very fast production cycles, while guaranteeing precision, optimal centering and a surface suitable for food contact.
At SIMON, we design reliable and durable high-speed moulds specifically for this type of packaging.
The main difference lies in the wall thickness of the final product and the technical complexity of the mold. A thin-walled mold requires a more precise design to guarantee very short cycle times and perfect thickness homogeneity. These moulds are often used for disposable or reusable food packaging, such as yoghurt pots, trays or lids. SIMON designs custom moulds with or without IML (In-Mould Labelling) labels, ensuring their performance and longevity.
Yes, we've mastered the art of designing moulds compatible with IML (In-Mould Labelling), a technique that allows the label to be integrated into the packaging during injection molding. This ensures a high-quality, moisture-resistant finish, perfectly integrated into the container. Our IML moulds are designed to maintain a high level of output, while respecting the constraints of centering, demolding and durability.
The quality of our moulds is based on a complete in-house design and manufacturing chain: design office, modern machine shop, test center and metrology department. Each mold is tested to validate its performance in real-life conditions. We optimize the geometry to guarantee short cycle times, constant precision and long service life. Our support starts right from the R&D phase, to guarantee a successful, functional project.
