plastic molds

Polymer casting containers

Plastic molds are hollow forms used to shape molten or pliable plastic into specific objects.

The term also refers to molds made of plastic rather than metal or silicone: She used plastic molds to make chocolate bunnies.

In manufacturing, plastic molds produce everything from car parts to bottle caps through injection molding processes.
