Compare cavity options
A 72-cavity mold is not automatically better than a 48-cavity mold. The right choice depends on machine capacity, output target, preform size, maintenance capability and investment level.

Cavity selection
Common cavity options and review logic
| Cavity | Project Fit | Review Point |
|---|---|---|
| 24 | Medium output | Lower initial investment and simpler project control |
| 32 | Common production | Water and beverage projects with balanced budget |
| 48 | Higher output | Hot runner balance and machine fit become more important |
| 64 | High output | Cooling, shot weight and cycle target need careful review |
| 72 | High capacity | Strong fit review for machine, runner and maintenance |
| 96/144 | Feasibility review | Use after output, machine and factory review are confirmed |
Decision points
What this page helps buyers decide
Common project bands
24 and 32 cavity molds are often used for medium-output projects. 48, 64 and 72 cavity molds suit higher-output projects. 96 and 144 cavity molds should be treated as feasibility-driven projects.
Machine matching is mandatory
Before quoting cavity number, the mold maker needs injection machine model and fit data. Without this, the quote can be technically wrong even if the price looks attractive.

FAQ
Common questions
Which cavity number is best for a new project?
It depends on target output, machine model, preform weight, neck finish and budget. Send your target output and machine data for a recommendation.
When should I consider 96 or 144 cavities?
Only when output, machine capacity, factory capability and maintenance plan support a high-cavity project. These should be reviewed carefully.
What information should I send for quotation?
Please send the preform drawing if available, cavity number, preform weight, neck finish, bottle application, injection machine model, target output and destination country. If you do not have all details, send what you have and we will help clarify the missing points.
