A few drawing details to work through together before the tooling plan is confirmed.
A new bottle shape begins with the drawing. We can work through the wall design, opening, thread and lid with you before the tooling plan is confirmed, while there is still room to make adjustments.
Body, opening and lid details can be reviewed while the drawing is being developed.
Pitfall 1: wall draft and uneven thickness
Wall draft and thickness affect how a part can be formed and released. We review those details with the drawing before tooling, then discuss any adjustment that helps the shape work in production.
The drawing review gives us a chance to work through draft and wall thickness before the tooling is made.
Pitfall 2: neck, thread and mouth geometry
The opening, thread and lid need to work as a combination. We can review those details alongside filling and cleaning needs, then confirm the hand sample before moving on.
Opening size affects filling, cleaning and the space available for the lid design. We can discuss these details with you while the drawing is still being developed.
Work through the design before tooling
3D render first. We model your design and review draft, wall thickness and neck geometry before any steel is touched.
A hand sample helps you consider the shape before tooling. We confirm the sample and mould schedule for the particular design as part of the quote.
Tooling cost depends on the design, parts and development scope. Share the drawing or reference and we’ll prepare a project quotation before tooling begins. Cost, development schedule, commissioned-mould ownership and use are agreed for the design before work starts.
If you have a sketch, a reference product, or a CAD file, send it over. We'll tell you honestly what's production-ready and what needs a small structural tweak — before you spend on tooling.
Frequently asked questions
What should a bottle drawing show before tooling is discussed?▾
Include the main dimensions, wall and base details, neck and thread, lid interface, intended capacity and any logo area. Those references give the design review a clear starting point.
Can an existing lid be used on a new bottle body?▾
That depends on the neck, thread and sealing geometry. Share the lid reference and drawing so the fit can be reviewed before a tooling decision is made.
What should be agreed before a new body mould is made?▾
Review the drawing, key dimensions, lid fit, hand sample and tooling scope together. The quotation should state what is included and how the design and tooling will be handled before work begins.
Which dimensions should I include in the first bottle drawing?▾
If you have a sketch, a reference product, or a CAD file, send it over. We'll tell you honestly what's production-ready and what needs a small structural tweak — before you spend on tooling.
How can wall draft and thickness affect a new bottle design?▾
Wall draft and thickness affect how a part can be formed and released. We review those details with the drawing before tooling, then discuss any adjustment that helps the shape work in production.
Which neck and thread details should be checked against the lid design?▾
The opening, thread and lid need to work as a combination. We can review those details alongside filling and cleaning needs, then confirm the hand sample before moving on.
Which sales representative should I contact for samples, mock-ups or a quotation on this topic?▾
