Mold Transfer Precautions | Plastic Mold Relocation, Rust Protection, and Shipping Guide
As products continue into long-term mass production, many companies eventually face the need for mold transfer due to production relocation, supply chain adjustments, factory changes, or the original mold maker no longer supporting the project.
However, plastic injection molds — especially medium and large molds — are precision tooling systems. Improper handling during transportation, packaging, or overseas shipping may lead to corrosion, damage, or production instability after relocation.
For this reason, proper inspection and protection procedures are strongly recommended before mold transfer.
