Cap moulds can be customized to produce a wide variety of cap designs. Depending on the specific needs of the manufacturer or the product, moulds can be tailored to produce different types of caps, including:

Screw caps for bottles and containers

Flip-top caps for easy dispensing of liquids

Push-pull caps for beverage packaging

Child-resistant caps for pharmaceuticals

Tamper-evident caps for safety and security purposes

The ability to customize the design of the mould allows manufacturers to create caps that meet specific functional, aesthetic, and regulatory requirements. This flexibility is particularly important for companies that produce a diverse range of products and need a variety of cap types for different packaging formats.

Cap moulds are designed to maximize production efficiency. Modern cap moulding systems are often multi-cavity, meaning they can produce multiple caps in a single cycle. This greatly increases the output of each production run and reduces the time needed to produce a batch of caps. With multi-cavity moulds, manufacturers can achieve higher production rates, which is especially beneficial in industries with high demand and rapid production requirements, such as the beverage or food packaging sectors.

Additionally, cap moulds are often used in conjunction with automated systems that can handle the injection moulding process without requiring significant manual intervention. This automation reduces the risk of human error, speeds up the production process, and further lowers labour costs. Manufacturers are able to produce thousands or even millions of caps in a relatively short period of time, helping meet market demands effectively.

Cooling is an essential part of the cap moulding process. After molten plastic is injected into the mould cavity, it needs to cool and solidify before the cap can be ejected. High-quality cap moulds come equipped with advanced cooling channels that help regulate the temperature of the mould and speed up the cooling process.

This type of mould is assembled from outer cap and an inner anti-theft ring. The outer cap is automatically rotated and pushed out by a hydraulic motor, requiring manual installation without much effort.
