Food manufacturers looking to create proprietary shapes for cups and bottles at nearly the same cost as standard molds can now do so with IMA Dairy & Food USA’s open mold technology.
Traditionally, thermoformed containers have been straight walled or tapered out to release them from the production mold. However, IMA’s open mold technology allows a proprietary shape to be formed prior to filling and sealing. The system can be used to shape unique-to-brand containers for a variety of food products, including yogurt, cream spreads, jellies and jams, juices, water, butter, margarine, sauces and fruit salads.
