The future is here – four future trends of injection molded bottle caps

For many industries, whether it is daily necessities, industrial products or medical supplies, bottle caps have always been a vital component of product packaging. According to Freedonia Consulting, the global demand for plastic bottle caps will grow at an annual rate of 4.1% by 2021. Therefore, for injection molding companies, the four major trends in the future production of bottle caps in the bottle cap market are worthy of our attention

1. Novel bottle cap design enhances brand image

Nowadays, e-commerce is growing explosively. In order to stand out on social media and online shopping platforms, major brands have adopted novel bottle cap designs as an important creative component of brand packaging. Bottle cap designers also tend to use richer colors and more complex structures to improve user experience and gain consumer favor.

2. Leak-proof sealing design improves logistics security

In the era of e-commerce, the distribution channels of products have shifted from traditional store sales to more online sales. The form of logistics has also changed, from traditional bulk cargo transportation to physical stores to small batch product delivery to home. Therefore, in addition to the beauty of the bottle cap design, it is also necessary to consider the protection function of the product during the delivery process, especially the leak-proof sealing design.

3. Continuous lightweight and safety design

In recent years, consumers’ environmental awareness has been continuously improved, and the demand for sustainable and environmentally friendly packaging has been increasing. The lightweight design of bottle caps can reduce the amount of plastic used, which conforms to the green trend in recent years. For enterprises, lightweight injection molding requires less materials, which can effectively reduce the cost of raw materials. With both economic and social benefits, lightweight design has become the direction of continuous innovation of bottle cap packaging of major brands in recent years. However, continuous lightweight design also brings new challenges, such as how to ensure that the performance of bottle cap packaging is not affected while reducing the weight of bottle caps, or even improve it.

4. Pursuing high cost performance of products

How to minimize the cost of a single product is an eternal theme for bottle cap injection molding companies. Using innovative processes to improve production efficiency, ensure the stability and consistency of the production process, and reduce the waste caused by defective products in production are all important links in cost control in bottle cap production.
