Types of Basket Molds We Manufacture
Fruit Basket Molds
Designed specifically for fresh produce handling, our fruit basket molds feature strategic hole patterns that promote airflow while maintaining structural integrity. The vent-to-wall ratio is optimized to keep produce breathing during cold storage and transport without compromising stack strength.
- •Ventilation Engineering: Strategic hole patterns for optimal airflow
- •Stack Stability: Rim geometry designed to lock baskets during shipping
- •Material Compatibility: Works with PP and HDPE for food contact (-20°C to 40°C)
- •Applications: Farm collection, wholesale markets, supermarket storage, export logistics
Shopping Basket Molds
Retail shopping baskets require durability for thousands of uses. Our shopping basket molds deliver ergonomic carry points engineered for repeated loading cycles with rib patterns to prevent handle fatigue.
- •Handle Reinforcement: Engineered for repeated loading cycles
- •Branding Areas: Smooth panels for logo embossing or hot stamping
- •Nesting Geometry: Stackable profiles that save retail floor space
Storage Basket Molds
For home organization and commercial storage, our molds produce baskets with clean interior surfaces, modular sizing, and reinforced corners for high-stress areas.
- •Clean Interior Surfaces: Smooth walls for easy cleaning
- •Modular Sizing: Standardized dimensions for shelving systems
- •Reinforced Corners: Extra thickness in high-stress areas
- •Optional Lids: Designs accommodate snap-on or hinged covers

Engineering Advantages of Our Basket Molds
Optimized Cooling Systems
Basket molds require balanced cooling to prevent warpage. We use conformal cooling channels around handles and ribs, baffle systems in large flat areas to control shrinkage, and temperature monitoring points for process validation.
- •Result: Consistent part dimensions and reduced cycle times (typically 25-35 seconds depending on basket size)
Hot Runner Technology
Most of our basket molds use hot runner systems to eliminate runner waste, reduce cycle time, improve gate aesthetics, and enable multi-cavity layouts for higher output.
- •Eliminate runner waste (saves 15-25% material cost)
- •Reduce cycle time by 3-5 seconds
- •Improve gate aesthetics on visible surfaces
- •Enable multi-cavity layouts for higher output
Ejection Systems
Baskets with undercuts require specialized ejection including stripper plates for smooth interior surfaces, hydraulic cores for handle undercuts, and angled ejector pins to prevent scuff marks.
Material Selection Guide
PP (Polypropylene)
Best for general-purpose baskets and room temperature use. Offers good chemical resistance, lower cost, and easy processing.
- •Temperature range: -10°C to 100°C
HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene)
Best for cold chain and impact resistance. Provides excellent low-temperature toughness with food-safe grades available.
- •Temperature range: -40°C to 80°C
Material Additives
- •UV stabilizers for outdoor/sunlight exposure
- •Anti-static additives for electronics storage
- •Antimicrobial agents for food contact applications
Customization Options
Every basket mold project is unique. We offer comprehensive customization across dimensions, functional features, and branding integration.
- Dimensional: Basket size 200mm to 800mm length, wall thickness 1.5mm to 4mm, various handle styles
- Functional Features: Drainage holes, label holders, reinforcement ribs, nesting or stacking profiles
- Branding Integration: Embossed or debossed logos, hot stamp preparation, color matching (Pantone/RAL)
Quality Control & Testing
Before delivery, every basket mold undergoes rigorous inspection and validation to ensure it meets your specifications.
- Dimensional Inspection: CMM measurement of critical features
- Trial Runs: 50-100 shot validation with customer material
- Stack Testing: Physical stacking tests to verify rim geometry
- Surface Finish: Visual inspection and roughness measurement
- Documentation: Full dimensional report and process parameters

Category FAQ
Can you customize basket size and ventilation patterns?
Yes. We adjust dimensions, hole patterns, and stack profiles to match your use case and material.
Do you support logo or branding areas?
We can add embossing or debossing in designated panels on two sides.
What cavity options are available?
Single or multi-cavity options are available based on size and output targets.
Can you modify existing basket designs?
Yes. If you have a sample basket or technical drawing, we can reverse-engineer the mold or make modifications to improve manufacturability.
What's the minimum order quantity?
Basket molds are typically single-cavity or 2-cavity designs. There's no MOQ for mold orders—you purchase the tooling, then produce as many baskets as needed.
Do you provide material sourcing?
We can recommend material suppliers and grades based on your application. For large production runs, we can also assist with material procurement.
Can the mold be used in my factory?
Yes. Our molds are compatible with standard injection molding machines (80-500 ton depending on basket size). We provide full setup documentation and process parameters.
What if I need design changes after the mold is built?
Minor adjustments (adding vents, adjusting draft angles) can usually be accommodated. Major changes may require additional tooling work—we'll provide a cost estimate before proceeding.
