Packaging Industry Multi-Shot Injection Molding Mold
Modern plastic packaging increasingly requires improved functionality, durability, and aesthetics. Multi-shot injection molding-also known as multi-shot injection mold, two-shot injection molding, 2K injection molding, andmulti-colour injection mould-has become the ideal manufacturing method for premium packaging products.
Euromicron Mould specializes in producing high-precision packaging injection molds, ranging from medical packaging, personal care packaging, food containers, to caps & closures requiring soft-touch, sealing features, or multiple colors.
What Is Multi-Shot Injection Molding for Packaging?
Multi-shot injection molding is a process where two or more plastic materials are molded in a single cycle to create a single integrated part.
For packaging products, this technology is widely used for:
Two-color closures and dispensers
Cosmetic packaging components
Medical packaging housings
Anti-slip handles for containers
Sealing rings integrated with PP/PE hard structures
Transparent + colored parts for premium aesthetics
Compared with traditional single-shot molding, multi-shot molds deliver better sealing performance, stronger bonding, and enhanced visual effects-making them ideal for high-value packaging markets.

Key Advantages of Our Multi-Shot Injection Mold Solutions
1. Enhanced Sealing and Functional Performance
For packaging requiring leak-proof performance-such as medical or food-grade containers-the integrated TPE or LSR sealing ring improves sealing efficiency and long-term durability.
2. Improved Consumer Experience
Multi-colour and soft-touch components elevate brand perception, making your packaging product more attractive and easier to use.
3. Increased Production Efficiency
Two-shot injection molding eliminates secondary assembly processes, reducing labor cost and defect risks.
4. Strong Material Bonding
Chemical bonding between materials (e.g., PP + TPE) ensures durable overmolding effects.
5. High Precision for Medical & Cosmetic Packaging
Our molds are widely used in medical packaging where stability and dimensional accuracy are critical.

FAQ
Q: 1.What testing do you perform before delivering a packaging 2K mold? We provide:
A: T1 sample inspection with dimensional report Seal-tightness test for closures Adhesion test for overmolded areas Function & cycle-time validation Full video + mold trial report This ensures the mold is ready for mass production on arrival.
Q: 2. Can packaging multi-shot molds run on standard injection machines?
A: Some can, but not all. Depending on the structure, the mold may require: Rotary platen machine Indexing core system Vertical transfer system If your machine does not support multi-shot, we design a "transfer-overmolding" version to suit your setup.
Q: 3.What information should buyers prepare to request a quotation for a 2K packaging mold?
A: Please provide: 3D part files (STEP, IGS, or X_T) Annual volume & estimated cavity numbers Preferred plastic materials Surface finish or branding requirements Product's sealing function (if applicable) Assembly or downstream process requirements This allows us to offer an accurate tooling proposal.
Q: 4. Can you make high-cavity multi-shot molds for mass-production packaging?
A: Yes. For packaging, we often build molds such as: 8 / 16 / 32 cavity 2K cap molds 16 / 24 cavity dispenser head molds Multi-cavity closure molds with soft TPE sealing rings Our expertise covers rotary platen, core indexing, and cube system structures.
Q: 5. Are multi-shot packaging molds more expensive than single-shot molds?
A: Yes, the mold itself is usually more complex and requires additional mechanisms or rotary systems. However, buyers typically reduce: Assembly labor Secondary sealing steps Material waste Failure rate Overall project cost often becomes lower over the product lifecycle.
