Off-Center Container Molding
Off-center containers can be used for many different applications. Achieving a uniform wall thickness throughout an off-center product was quite difficult with previous molding methods, but is now possible with the Direct Heatcon technology. It also enables product lightweighting and material cost reductions.
This type of bottle is being used for trigger sprays, spice jars, engine oil containers, juice bottles, and more recently for water bottles.
Off-centre containers can be used to increase the pourability of engine oil and other viscous products. Because of this feature, off-centre containers are also used for viscous pharmaceuticals and agricultural chemicals.
The approximate maximum off-center ratio will depend on the shape of the product, but up to 7:3 off-center is possible. Please consult us for higher rates.
