Blow-molded polyethylene containers are made by a process that shapes plastic into a hollow, one-piece form: molten plastic is extruded as a hollow tube and then shaped inside a cold metal mold. This technique is ideal for making one-piece containers, and that seamless construction brings an important advantage: protection from external factors, with no leaks or permeation. Sapel’s blow molding machines are fully automatic, and the Sapel factory always uses the latest technology available worldwide in its production.

Manufacturers of blow-molded containers usually use polyethylene (PE) or polypropylene (PP) as the raw material. Polyethylene is a hygienic, inert material with many advantages for blow molding: containers made from it are durable and strong, and they are also recyclable.

Plastic Mold Making

The metal molds used for blow-molded polyethylene containers can be made of different materials, usually steel or aluminum. Steel molds cost more, but they last longer and deliver better quality than aluminum molds. Alongside its other services, such as manufacturing plastic containers, labeling, consulting and design, Sapel also offers mold making services.
