Packaging
Packaging Applications
A wide variety of industries, from automotive manufacturing to food production, rely on containers for distribution. The use of composites and engineered plastics allows these containers to be reused over long program periods, and reduces the waste and environmental impact of expendable packaging. Some of these applications demand the ability to handle high product weight, and to be cleaned regularly in processes that can be harsh to traditional metals. CORE Molding Technologies provides a unique mix of materials, processes and geographic locations needed to exceed the expectations of a variety of packaging manufacturers. CORE’s ability to produce parts using a variety of processes from a variety of locations makes CORE the right choice for your packaging product needs.

Application Highlights
Sanitary Construction
Competitive Cost
Sanitary Construction Mobile
Thermoset and thermoplastic products can be formulated with antimicrobial and other additives to comply with industry standards such as NSF-51, UL HB94 and FDA compliance, for food-grade use and applications exposed to bacteria. In addition, as a corrosion-resistant material, plastics can be easily washed and sanitized with chemicals and heat.
Competitive Cost
Composites often present lower tooling costs and the ability to combine multiple pieces into one component eliminating complexity, waste and assembly labor costs. With an industry-leading range of material and process options, CORE can collaborate with you to select the right combinations that optimize cost and performance for your specific project.
Program Support

Thermal Characteristics
Application Specific Materials
Unlike providers with only one material or process to offer, CORE has a variety of materials to meet the specific needs of your product. With both thermoset and thermoplastic capabilities, the expertise to specially formulate materials for your particular performance requirements, and a range of processes to fit your program parameters, CORE can customize a solution perfectly suited to meet your needs.
Thermal Characteristics
Composites have a very low rate of thermal conductivity and are the materials of choice in high heat high and/or humidity applications. Thermoset composites also have a high degree of dimensional stability and can withstand large variation in temperature exposure.
