Small to Large Bottle Blow Mold, Gutewei Custom Capacity Mold, 100ml to 20L PET Bottle Tooling

PET bottles come in every imaginable size — from tiny 100ml sample bottles for hotels and airlines to massive 20L containers for water coolers, edible oil, and industrial liquids. Each size demands different mold geometry, cooling characteristics, and blow ratio optimization. That is why Gutewei offers custom capacity molds covering the entire spectrum: 100ml to 20L PET bottle tooling — all from a single, trusted manufacturer.


One Supplier for Every Bottle Size

Bottle VolumeTypical ApplicationGutewei Mold Feature
100ml – 500mlHotel amenities, juice shots, sample sizesHigh cavitation, compact mold base
0.5L – 1LPersonal water, carbonated drinksStandard cavity, fast cycle
1.5L – 2LFamily size water, CSD, juiceReinforced neck, balanced cooling
3L – 5LTable water, edible oilHeavy wall design, thick base support
5L – 10LWater cooler bottlesHandle integration, reinforced bottom
10L – 20LIndustrial containers, bulk oilLarge cavity, extended cooling zone

No matter your target capacity, Gutewei designs a small to large bottle blow mold specifically optimized for that volume range.

What Changes When Bottle Size Changes?

Designing a blow mold for 100ml vs. 20L is not simply scaling up. Different sizes present完全不同挑战:

1. Blow Ratio (Stretch Ratio)

Small bottles (100ml–500ml) typically have higher stretch ratios, requiring precise preform shape matching. Large bottles (5L–20L) have lower stretch ratios but require more material flow control.

Gutewei calculates the optimal blow ratio for every custom capacity mold before cutting steel.

2. Cooling Requirements

Small bottles cool quickly but require uniform cavity temperature to avoid warpage. Large bottles retain heat longer, needing extended cooling channels and higher water flow rates.

Bottle SizeCooling ChallengeGutewei Solution
100ml–500mlOver-cooling riskZoned cooling, flow reducers
1L–5LBalance speed and qualityConformal cooling channels
5L–20LHeat removal bottleneckHigh flow circuits, extended cooling time

3. Neck Ring Design

Bottle neck finish is often standardized, but larger bottles may require reinforced neck rings to support heavier contents. Gutewei offers:

  • PCO 1881 (0.3L–2L beverages)

  • 38mm / 48mm (oil and wide-mouth, 1L–5L)

  • 55mm / 63mm (water cooler and bulk, 5L–20L)

  • Custom neck finishes for any application

4. Cavity Surface Finish

Small cosmetic and premium bottles require high-gloss finishes (RA ≤ 0.02μm). Large industrial containers may prioritize durability over clarity. Gutewei matches surface finish to your end use.

Gutewei Custom Capacity Mold: Built for Your Exact Volume

When you order a custom capacity mold from Gutewei, we do not guess. We engineer around your specific:

  • Target bottle volume (exact ml or L)

  • Bottle shape (round, square, oval, handleware)

  • Neck finish (standard or custom)

  • Wall thickness profile (lightweight or heavy duty)

  • Production volume (low, medium, or high cavitation)

  • Blow molding machine (make, model, tie bar spacing)

Cavitation Options by Bottle Size

Bottle SizeTypical Cavitation (Cavities per Mold)
100ml – 500ml4, 6, 8, 12, 16
0.5L – 1.5L2, 4, 6, 8
1.5L – 3L2, 4, 6
3L – 5L1, 2, 4
5L – 10L1, 2
10L – 20L1 (single cavity)

Technical Features Across All Sizes

For Small Bottles (100ml – 1L)

  • High cavitation (up to 16 cavities per mold)

  • Fast cycle times (as low as 2.8 seconds)

  • Precision neck finish for consistent capping

  • Compact mold base for smaller machine platens

For Medium Bottles (1.5L – 5L)

  • Balanced cooling for uniform wall distribution

  • Reinforced neck ring for carbonated or heavy contents

  • Handle integration capability (for 3L–5L oil bottles)

  • Stainless steel S136 for clarity and durability

For Large Bottles (5L – 20L)

  • Single or dual cavity for large shot weight

  • Extended cooling channels with high flow capacity

  • Heavy-duty guide posts and wear plates

  • Optional bottom blow or stretch rod configurations

  • Corrosion-resistant coating for long service life
