We have significant experience in the manufacture of cap molds for different types of closures by customer's demand. Adopt imported P20,2316 etc, steel. Hot runner is designed advanced and reasonably, each cavity heat controled independently. temperature uniform. Each cavity and core have independent cooling system, shorten production cycle time. Cavity can be changed, convenient to change remark of the cap.
Generally used for food soy sauce, vinegar, glass bottles and PET plastic bottles on the lid, the center of the lid has two kinds of tear and non-tear. There is the toiletries LDPE bottle, PP bottle, HDPE bottle of various shapes on the bottle flap, from oval, round large and small size. The first use of flip cover is to suit the beautiful shape of the bottle, but to facilitate the opening and closing of the hand, which will reflect the dry feel of the flip cover joint just with the tightness of the sealing water. The screw thread on the flip cover mold structure is jacked out, and the screw thread rotates automatically. We can all do the best we can.

Flip molds can be categorized into food-grade, cosmetic-grade, etc., based on application scenarios. Their core functions focus on "aesthetics" and "convenience," and in particular, addressing the practical need of "preventing the upper and lower lids from separating and getting lost" requires optimization through multiple dimensions such as structural design, material selection, and mold precision. The details are as follows:
Application scenarios: Packaging in direct contact with food, such as snack cans, sauce bottles, and beverage bottle caps.
Special requirements: Must comply with food contact safety standards (e.g., FDA, LFGB). The mold cavity material mostly uses corrosion-resistant, non-leaching S136 stainless steel to ensure the molded flip lids are odor-free and do not contaminate food. The surface must be smooth and free of dead angles to avoid residual food crumbs and facilitate cleaning.
Application scenarios: Beauty packaging such as cream jars, lipstick caps, and perfume bottle caps.
Special requirements: Extremely high precision in appearance is required. The mold cavity must undergo mirror polishing (Ra ≤ 0.04μm) to ensure the flip lid surface is free of shrink marks and weld lines, and is compatible with decorative processes like pearlescent coating and gold stamping. The material must resist components in cosmetics such as alcohol and oils, with corrosion-resistant S136 or pre-hardened steel NAK80 commonly used.
Flip molds achieve precise control over aesthetics (shape, gloss, details) and convenience (feel, opening efficiency) through differentiated designs for food-grade and cosmetic-grade applications (with emphasis on safety and appearance, respectively). In particular, the "one-piece hinge + locking mechanism" structural design, optimized material toughness, and high-precision mold processing fundamentally solve the problem of "upper and lower lids separating and getting lost." They not only meet users' needs for product practicality but also enhance product added value through exquisite appearance.
Shape adaptation: Through precise processing of the mold cavity, an integrated design of the flip lid and the bottle body is achieved (e.g., curved transitions, matching edges and corners) to enhance the overall texture of the product. Details such as textures and logos can be integrated (via precision engraving on the mold) to strengthen brand recognition.
Color and gloss: The surface finish of the mold directly affects the gloss of the product. Cosmetic-grade flip molds must ensure uniform reflection on the molded surface, compatible with post-treatments like painting and electroplating, and avoid appearance defects caused by mold flaws.
Opening/closing feel: The thickness of the hinge (usually 0.3-0.8mm) and its toughness are controlled through mold design, ensuring moderate force for opening and closing (easily operable with one hand by adults, but not easily snap open by children) and a stable opening angle (mostly 90° or 120° positioning), preventing it from being too loose (easy to pop open) or too tight (hard to open).
Quick access: For frequently used scenarios (e.g., lipstick caps, snack cans), the mold can be designed with a "one-click pop-up" structure (with a spring or elastic hinge). The mold precisely controls the pop-up stroke to ensure convenience without compromising structural stability.

Integrated hinge molding: The mold adopts a "one-piece hinge" structure, connecting the upper and lower lids through a thin rubber hinge, which is injection-molded in one piece, avoiding the risk of detachment in assembled structures. The mold must precisely control the hinge thickness tolerance (±0.02mm) to ensure it is flexible enough for bending while resistant to breakage (usually requiring ≥5000 opening/closing cycles without damage).
Enhanced locking mechanism: A snap-fit, bump, or other locking structure is designed in the mold (e.g., a protrusion on the inner side of the flip lid that precisely fits into a groove on the lower lid). The mold ensures a locking gap ≤0.05mm, ensuring a tight fit (to prevent accidental detachment) while allowing easy opening (avoiding separation caused by users forcing it open due to excessive tightness).
Matching material toughness: Suitable materials are selected based on usage scenarios (PP/PE for food-grade, ABS/PC for cosmetic-grade). The mold optimizes material crystallinity through a temperature control system (with a precision of ±1℃) to ensure the hinge has sufficient toughness (e.g., PP material with a flexural modulus of 800-1200MPa), preventing low-temperature embrittlement or aging and breakage after long-term use.
Mold precision guarantee: Slow wire cutting is used to machine the hinge cavity, ensuring the coaxiality of the upper and lower lid connection parts ≤0.01mm, avoiding uneven stress on the hinge due to mold misalignment, which could lead to breakage. For multi-cavity molds, the consistency of hinge parameters across cavities must be ensured (deviation ≤0.005mm) to guarantee stable separation-preventing performance in mass-produced products.
Enhanced portability: For outdoor and travel scenarios (e.g., portable sauce bottles, travel-sized cosmetics), the mold can be designed with an "anti-misopening" structure (such as an additional lock or push-to-open mechanism). The mold controls the fit precision of the lock to ensure it does not separate during unintended operation.
Improved durability: The mold cavity surface is nitrided (hardness ≥600HV) to reduce wear on the hinge during long-term use. For high-frequency use products (e.g., kitchen seasoning bottles), the mold can thicken the hinge root (by 0.1-0.2mm) to enhance fatigue resistance.
