Product Description
16-Cavity CNC Machined Aluminum Thermoforming Mould | High-Output Food Container & Plastic Packaging Production
Product Overview
This 16-cavity CNC machined aluminum thermoforming mould is built for high-volume production of disposable food containers and plastic packaging. Fabricated from premium food-grade aluminum via high-precision CNC machining, it adopts a symmetric 16-cavity layout with balanced vacuum flow, delivering 16 finished pieces per cycle with consistent dimensional quality. It is fully compatible with mainstream automatic thermoforming lines, suitable for mass production of PP, PET and PS food containers, lids and shallow trays.
For large-scale packaging manufacturers, our engineering team optimizes multi-cavity layout, cycle efficiency and cavity-to-cavity uniformity, to maximize single-machine output, lower unit production cost, and ensure stable quality consistency across long-running bulk production orders.
Engineering Focus
High-performance 16-cavity thermoforming moulds rely on more than just cavity count. Balanced material flow, uniform forming conditions, cycle efficiency and long-term durability must work together to deliver cost-effective, stable high-volume packaging manufacturing.
01
Symmetric 16-Cavity Balanced Design
Symmetrically arranged 16 cavities with evenly distributed vacuum channels and uniform flow resistance, ensuring consistent drawing speed and wall thickness across all positions. This eliminates edge-to-center deviation and keeps dimensional variation within ±0.05mm across all 16 cavities.
02
CNC Unified Benchmark Precision
All cavities are machined from a single reference benchmark via 5-axis CNC equipment, guaranteeing consistent geometry and interchangeable wearing parts. This reduces adjustment time during maintenance and ensures stable product dimensions throughout the mould service life.
03
Optimized Cycle Efficiency
Optimized heating and cooling channel layout matched to 16-cavity heat load, shortening forming and setting time by around 20% compared with conventional designs. It supports high-cycle continuous production and maximizes daily output from a single thermoforming line.
04
Food-Grade Wear-Resistant Build
Manufactured from food-contact safe aluminum alloy with hardened cavity surface treatment, it offers good anti-stick and wear resistance, meets international food packaging safety standards, and maintains stable performance under long-term high-speed mass production.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much output can a 16-cavity mould achieve?
At a typical cycle speed of 15–25 cycles per minute, a 16-cavity mould can produce 14,400–24,000 pieces per hour. Actual output depends on product size, depth, material and specific machine performance.
Is quality consistent across all 16 cavities?
Yes. With symmetric cavity layout, balanced vacuum channels and unified CNC benchmark machining, dimensional variation across all 16 cavities is controlled within ±0.05mm, ensuring uniform appearance, wall thickness and stacking performance in bulk production.
Is a 16-cavity mould cost-effective for mass production?
Yes. It multiplies per-cycle output without proportional increases in labor, energy or floor space. For high-volume single-SKU production, it significantly lowers unit cost and delivers faster return on tooling investment compared with fewer-cavity designs.
Can this mould run different food container products?
For similarly sized products, we can adopt a modular insert design to switch between different container styles. For products of greatly different sizes, we recommend a dedicated cavity layout to maximize production efficiency and quality consistency.

We are pleased with the overall quality of this multi-cavity mold for PET cake lids. The machining looks clean, the cavity arrangement is well designed, and the mold structure appears solid and reliable. For thin-wall lid production, consistency between cavities is very important, and this tooling gives us a professional impression.
