Injection Compression Moulding (ICM)
- Thin walls with high strength through controlled material distribution
- Less material, more performance thanks to uniform wall thickness and excellent dimensional stability
- Clean appearance and short cycle times supported by a stable and efficient production process
Benefits of our moulds
Lightweight and strong
ICM enables the production of lightweight packaging without compromising strength or functionality.
Efficient and sustainable production
ICM reduces material consumption per product and minimises waste while maintaining quality and processing speed.
Suitable for high-volume production
Short cycle times and stable processing make ICM ideal for large-scale packaging applications.
Optimal dimensional stability
Controlled compression ensures highly uniform material distribution, resulting in precise dimensions and a high-quality surface finish.
Thin-wall packaging with maximum performance
In a market where sustainability, efficiency and visual quality are increasingly important, injection compression moulding offers an advanced production technology. With ICM, we produce lightweight packaging with high structural strength, minimal material usage and premium surface quality.
ICM is an advanced variation of injection moulding. The plastic material is first injected into a partially open mould and then compressed under controlled pressure. This process enables:
- Thin walls with high structural strength
- Uniform wall thickness distribution
- Low internal material stress and excellent dimensional stability
- Retention of technical properties at reduced weight
- Short cycle times and stable output
These advantages make ICM particularly suitable for applications where precision, processing speed and sustainability are essential, such as packaging for food, cosmetics or medical products.
Whether the focus is on visual quality, material reduction or process reliability, ICM combines the speed of injection moulding with the precision of compression.
