Plastic packaging is currently moving towards a lightweight development trend

Reducing the weight of the package is beneficial to the environment and the profitability of the enterprise. Lightweighting is currently a common industrial term used to describe the practice of reducing weight by using fewer materials to produce packaging. Generally speaking, plastic bottles, plastic cans, plastic hoses, and plastic lids are more likely to achieve weight reduction goals.

After a plastic package has been successfully weight-reduced, fewer resin materials are needed in the injection molding process. Because of the use of less packaging materials, lightweight packaging is very beneficial to the environment, but this is not her The only advantage, lightweight packaging also has the advantage of using more, for example, can effectively reduce the cost of materials.

Many plastic container suppliers said that a large number of daily chemical companies have shown great concern for lightweighting, especially for mass personal care products, such as skin care products in plastic bottles or plastic cans. In general, plastic bottles or plastic cans are easier to achieve than lightweight injection molded containers.

Lightweight plastic packaging can ease people's concerns about environmental protection and sustainable development. More and more people choose products with better packaging, faster production speeds, stronger packaging, and reduced weight. Today's companies sell products in large quantities. At the same time, a small reduction in the amount of resin used on each package can bring considerable economic benefits to the company. In particular, under the premise that the price of resin materials has never been raised before, more and more companies are increasingly sending lighter packages. interest.

In order to reduce the amount of resin used for plastic bottles or caps, the process of injection molding needs to be changed, and the continuous injection molding technology with strips is used instead of the retraction injection molding technology to complete the injection molding process of the container caps, stripping the material strips at the center of the molds and changing the bottles. The thread of the cover can reduce the weight of the cover and achieve the goal of lightweighting.
