Why Startups Are Choosing Injection Blow Molding Technology？

In recent years, a noticeable trend has emerged in the manufacturing landscape: an increasing number of startups—across packaging, medical devices, cosmetics, and consumer goods—are prioritizing investments in injection blow molding (IBM) technology.

This shift is driven by technological improvements, market expectations, and the unique operational demands of early-stage companies.
For startups, where efficiency, speed-to-market, and scalability determine survival, IBM has evolved into a strategic tool for growth.

Can Injection Blow Molding Technology Be Used for Startup Product Development?

The machine shown above is the MSZ30 Series Injection Blow Molding Machine, one of Victor Machinery’s popular models for producing small plastic bottles and containers.

1. Unmatched Precision and Consistency for High-Quality Outputs

Startups entering premium or regulated markets—such as medical devices, pharmaceutical packaging, or cosmetics—must deliver flawless products from the first batch.

Injection blow molding excels here, offering:

• ultra-precise preform injection
• consistent wall distribution
• no flash, no trimming
• clean-room compatible production

2. Cost Efficiency That Aligns With Startup Budgets

While IBM equipment often has a higher initial investment than extrusion blow molding, startups benefit from:

• Material Savings (up to 30%)
• Lower labor requirements (high automation)
• Minimal post-processing
• High repeatability and low rejection rate

3. Versatility to Meet Diverse Market Needs

IBM supports a wide range of thermoplastics—including PP, PE, PET, PETG, PC, COC—making it ideal for startups who need to adapt quickly.

This flexibility allows a single machine to produce:

• pharmaceutical vials
• cosmetic bottles
• food-grade containers
• small household packaging

Fast mold-changing capability also accelerates product iterations.
