Blow Molding
Blow Molding is a process in packaging engineering where air is used to shape plastic into hollow forms, like bottles and containers, by inflating a heated plastic tube inside a mold. Designers can use this method to create packaging with built-in handles, measurement marks, or textured surfaces in one step, which can help with branding and product usability. Blow molding allows for lightweight packaging that uses less material, which can help reduce shipping costs and environmental impact. This process supports the use of recycled plastics, making it possible to design packaging that meets sustainability goals without changing the basic manufacturing setup.
