For PET preform manufacturers, the initial machine price is only one part of the total investment.

In PET preform production, mold precision and production stability have a direct impact on product quality, mold life and overall production costs.

Anyone in the injection molding industry knows that deep-cavity products and molds have always presented significant challenges. Items such as buckets, storage bins, stools, and basins feature deep cavities, thick walls, and long demolding strokes, placing high demands on an injection molding machine's opening stroke and clamping stability.

Walk into any supermarket, and the shelves are filled with bottled water, beverages, and cooking oil—almost all of them produced through a highly automated line known as the injection-blow-fill-cap process.

The global water packaging market is undergoing unprecedented expansion. Demand for bottled water continues to rise in emerging markets such as Southeast Asia, Central Asia, and Africa—the global PET preform market is expected to exceed $23.5 billion by 2031, with Southeast Asia already becoming a major hub for new preform production capacity.
