Product Overview
HXW Mold designs and manufactures custom thermoforming molds for
food containers, takeaway boxes, meal trays, bowls, lids and other
rigid packaging applications. The tooling is developed according to
the product geometry, sheet material, thermoforming machine and
required production output.
Depending on the project, we can provide forming tooling together
with cutting and stacking tooling as an integrated solution,
helping customers match the mold configuration with their existing
production line.
Tooling Scope Forming · Cutting · Stacking
Applications Trays · Containers · Bowls · Lids
Sheet Materials PP · PET · PS
Machine Fit Customized to Existing Lines
Engineering Focus
Mold performance depends on more than the cavity shape. The forming
process, material distribution, cooling system, cutting interface
and stacking method must work together for stable continuous
production.
01Forming & Material Distribution
Cavity geometry, plug-assist design, vacuum and pressure paths are
evaluated according to product depth and sheet characteristics to
improve wall-thickness distribution.
02Cooling & Production Stability
Cooling channels are arranged according to the mold structure to
support consistent forming conditions and stable production during
continuous machine operation.
03Cutting Integration
Cutting tooling and interfaces are considered together with the
forming layout to achieve accurate product positioning and reliable
trimming.
04Stacking & Machine Compatibility
Mold dimensions, mounting, positioning, air and water connections
and stacking interfaces are customized according to the customer's
thermoforming machine.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you manufacture molds for multi-compartment food trays?
Yes. Please provide the product drawing or sample, compartment
dimensions, divider height, sealing requirements and machine
forming area. The mold structure will be evaluated according to the
required product configuration.
Can the mold be matched to our existing thermoforming machine?
Yes. The mold can be customized according to the machine model,
forming area, mounting dimensions, positioning system, water
connections, air connections and tooling interfaces.
Can you provide forming, cutting and stacking tooling together?
Yes. Depending on the machine configuration and production
requirements, we can develop the forming, cutting and stacking
tooling as an integrated tooling solution.
How is the mold checked before shipment?
The project goes through drawing review, mold design, CNC
machining, dimensional inspection, assembly inspection and
functional testing. In-house mold trials can be carried out, and
trial videos and formed samples can be provided for approval.
What is the standard lead time?
The standard lead time is approximately five weeks after receipt of
the deposit and approval of the final mold drawing. Complex
projects or multiple tooling sets may require additional time.
