Frequently asked question
Crate moulds are usually made from high-grade steel. Steel is favored for its durability and strength. Of course, beryllium copper can be used for the core and cavity for better thermal conductivity and strength.
Factors to consider include the type of plastic to be used, the volume of production, the complexity of the crate design, and the specific dimensions required. Consulting with the mold manufacturer can also provide valuable guidance. the experts at Go4mould are happy to assist you.
Crate moulds offer high precision and repeatability, reducing production time and allowing for complex designs. They also help maintain consistent quality and can increase overall productivity.
Standard sizes vary, but common sizes include small (e.g. 300x200x150 mm), medium (e.g. 400x300x200 mm) and large (e.g. 600x400x300 mm). Customized sizes can also be produced to meet specific requirements.
Production cycle times vary depending on the complexity of the mold and the materials used. On average, each cycle varies from 30 seconds to a few minutes. Optimizing the mold design and machine setup can help reduce cycle times.
Regular maintenance includes cleaning the mold after each production cycle to remove plastic residue, inspecting for wear and damage, lubricating moving parts, and performing regular thorough inspections. It is critical to use non-abrasive cleaners and follow the manufacturer’s guidelines.

Their services are really awesome and I don’t really need any after-sale services because the products themselves are a masterpiece. It has been 3 years since I bought a medical equipment mould and it is working well under its warranty!Arthur Muller:
- For the past few months, I was low on budget but I wanted to restock my mould gallery. It was when I got familiarized with Go4mould. They offered me competitive plastic crate mould prices which was a huge relief for me. But not stopping here, they guided me extensively on how can I use different strategies to improve my business growth. I am writing this to say that Go4mould deserves more than a five-star rating for the quality work it offers.Cathy Andrew:

Crate mould manufacturing system
Material Selection
The choice of material is crucial for the durability and performance of the crate mold. Common materials include:
- Steel: Often used for its strength and longevity, particularly carbon steel and alloy steel.
- Aluminum: Lightweight and offers good thermal conductivity, suitable for low-volume production.
Material Standards: To ensure reliability and performance, all materials should meet industry standards (e.g., ASTM, ISO).
Supplier Verification: Ensure suppliers provide Certificates of Compliance to confirm the material quality and specifications.
CNC Machining
Precision Machining: Utilizing CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machines for the intricate cutting and shaping crate mold components ensures high precision and repeatability.
Tooling and Fixtures: Custom tooling and fixtures are developed specifically for crate molds to handle unique designs and specifications.
Machining Operations: The process involves several operations, including milling, turning, drilling, and grinding, to achieve the desired dimensions and tolerances.
Regular Inspections: During machining, regular dimensional inspections are conducted to verify compliance with design specifications.
Component Assembly
- Parts Preparation: Once all components are machined, each part is cleaned and deburred to remove sharp edges or impurities.
- Assembly Process: The components of the crate mold are carefully assembled, taking into account:
- Alignment: Precise alignment is critical to ensure that the mold operates correctly and produces uniform crates.
- Fastening: Use high-quality bolts, screws, and other fasteners to secure components firmly.
- Initial Testing: Before surface treatment, a preliminary functional test of the assembled mold may be performed to check for operational integrity.
Surface Treatment
- Treatment Options: Depending on the material and intended use, surface treatment processes could include:
- Hardening: Heat treatment to enhance the hardness of steel surfaces, improving wear resistance.
- Coating: Apply protective coatings (e.g., nickel plating, powder coating) to prevent rust and corrosion.
- Polishing: Polishing is used for aesthetic purposes and to reduce friction during molding.
- Quality Checks: After treatment, each mold is inspected for surface finish quality and consistency to guarantee that it meets customer expectations.
Testing
- Functional Testing: The completed crate mold undergoes rigorous testing to ensure:
- Fit and Function: Confirming that all components operate smoothly and are defects-free.
- Sample Production: A sample run is conducted to produce a batch of crates, evaluating the mold’s performance under real production conditions.
- Dimensional Inspection: Use precision measuring tools to ensure that the dimensions of the molds match specifications.
- Final Quality Assurance: Comprehensive inspections are carried out before packaging. This may include documentation of test results and compliance with customer requirements.
By following these steps, you ensure that the production of your crate molds is efficient and meets the highest quality standards. If you need any more information or specific details to add, just let me know!
Crate mould Designing requirements
Any product needs a fine infrastructure. That’s why we prioritize your mould design to give you flawless results. Go4mould conducts an extensive meeting with its staff to discuss your products’ requirements, and then we design your crate moulds.
Our professionals suggest you consider the following requirements for designing a crate mould.
- Keep a good check on the dimensions because a crate mould is bigger in size. Stores need bigger crates for their products.
- Discuss the radius, circumference, and other mathematical considerations with other fellows.
- Keep the wall thickness in coherence with the mould ribs.
- Define the part lines for product identification.
- The crate mould gates should be designed bigger because they allow easy die-casting.
- Carefully draw the cavities because these are the most complex and the most productive parts of the mould.
After you’re satisfied that your design is applicable, pass it on to the senior engineers for further verification. Go4mould prefers this method because it promotes teamwork and reduces the chances of error.
Some clients have to wait for ages while dealing with other manufacturers. This happens if customer service is bad or the workload has reached the limit. This turns off the new-coming clients and costs your business. Go4mould, however, has a strong and active team, especially when dealing with clients. You have to give your samples to our engineers either by hand or through an attached document in the email. We will have a detailed look at your samples and will respond to you in a day. We also suggest some turning points in your samples to get authentic products.
Applications of plastic crate mould
The applications of the crate mould are versatile. You can use them for various needs. They are vastly used in the food sector. The crate factory owners use our crate moulds to make different mould products which in return are applied in the markets for
- Storing vegetables
- Milk cartons
- Plastic milk bottles
- Bottle cans
- Beer crate
- Plastic bakery crate
- logistics box
- Other eatables
Moreover, your crate moulds are environmentally friendly. They do not let out a chemical explosion or get into acidic reactions. They are non-volatile and can be recycled easily without disposing of harsh remains in the water or air. We use steel and aluminum to avoid this toxicity as both materials are calm and provide a whole set of favorable properties.
