Blow moulding · by quote

Hollow parts, blown to shape

For bottles, jerrycans, ducts, tanks and anything else that needs to be hollow and sealed. Send your part file or a sample and the target volume, we'll quote the mould, the parison setup and the parts together.

Discuss your requirements

Processes

Extrusion blow, injection stretch blow (PET), injection blow

Part size

From 50 ml bottles to 200 L drums; ducts and hollow panels

Materials

HDPE, LDPE, PP, PET, PVC, ABS, EVOH-barrier coex

Tooling

Aluminium or steel moulds, single to multi-cavity, 4–6 weeks

Wall control

Parison programming for even wall in deep-draw areas

Secondary work

Trim, leak test, labelling, assembly, leak-proof capping

Choosing a material

The material decides stiffness, chemical resistance, clarity and how the part is filled or used. Barrier layers and regrind content also shape the quote, so tell us what the container will hold.

HDPE
Stiff, chemical-resistant and economical. The default for bottles, jerrycans and tanks.
PP
Handles higher temperatures and live hinges. Useful for hot-fill containers and closures.
PET
Clear, strong and pressure-tolerant. Stretch-blown bottles for drinks and cosmetics.
Barrier coex
Layered structure that slows gas and solvent permeation. Useful for fuels, chemicals and long shelf life.

What the tooling review covers

01

Hollow geometry and parting

Blow moulding handles undercuts and complex hollow shapes well, but the parting line, pinch-offs and trim need planning with the mould.

02

Wall distribution

Deep draws and sharp corners thin out the wall. Parison programming and sensible radii keep strength where it matters without wasting material.

03

Volume and decoration

Annual volume decides mould cavities and machine size. Tell us about labelling, colour and leak testing so the quote covers the whole job.

Related processes

Choose by material, geometry and how hollow the part really needs to be.

Injection moulding

Better for solid or open parts where precise detail on all faces matters more than being hollow.

View service

Die casting

Better for hollow-looking metal parts that need stiffness, threads or machined sealing faces.

View service

Rotational moulding

Better for very large tanks and one-off hollow parts where tooling budget is small and cycle time can be long. Talk to us.
