In the packaging industry, speed, precision, and sustainability are essential. voestalpine’s Plastic Injection Moulding Department delivers advanced tooling solutions that enable high-volume production of durable, lightweight, and recyclable packaging components—helping brands meet consumer expectations and environmental goals.

Why voestalpine for Packaging Injection Moulding?

Extended Tool Life: PVD coatings and optimized materials extend tool life and reduce maintenance, even when processing abrasive or corrosive packaging polymers.
Premium Tool Steels: Our BÖHLER and UDDEHOLM grades offer excellent wear resistance, polishability, and corrosion protection—ideal for high-speed moulding of packaging components.
Additive Manufacturing (AM) Capabilities: We design conformal cooled inserts and venting structures using AM, reducing cycle times and improving part quality by ensuring uniform temperature distribution and air evacuation.
Surface Engineering: Our moulds support ultra-fine textures and integrated product protection features like DIGIMARC watermarks, enabling traceability and anti-counterfeiting.
