What Industries Rely on Injection Molding Manufacturing?
Injection molded products are used across such a vast array of industries, it might be easier to ask what industries do not take advantage of injection molding. Some industries, however, are more reliant on this cost-effective, versatile, efficient process to manufacture their parts, products, and packaging. Several of these heavy hitters include:
Food & Beverage
One of the largest consumers of plastic injection molded goods is the food and beverage industry. From takeout containers and disposable flatware, plates, cups, and bowls to processing and retail packaging, plastics help meet regulatory requirements, maintain cleanliness and safety, and add functionality, convenience and visual appeal to foods and drinks.
Medical & Pharmaceutical
While plastics sometimes get a poor reception, in the medical and pharmaceutical field, they can be lifesavers. Countless applications for injection molded plastics offer everything from testing and monitoring devices to implants, emergency equipment, and thousands of other products and parts. Plastics can meet safety and sanitary regulations, protect from contamination, and can offer non-reactive materials and high precision when needed.
Consumer Products
Injection molded products are all around us, from shampoo bottles and toothbrushes to lipstick cases, and bottles for household cleaners. With fast, versatile, efficient production, injection molding can quickly produce high-quality consumer goods and packaging and make your brand stand out.
Packaging
Bottles, closures, lids, jars, tubs, buckets, and dozens of other packaging components are excellent candidates for injection molding. With nearly endless combinations of shape, style, color, and texture available, plastic packaging can be efficiently produced to create desired appearances. The versatility of different plastic formulations offers a wide range of capabilities for heat tolerance, strength, chemical resistance, UV light tolerance, impact resistance, and dozens of other qualities which may be required of specific packaging.
