Mould Tooling Options

At GLH Mouldings Ltd, we work with a variety of mould tooling types to suit different part designs, materials, and production requirements. We source all new tooling exclusively from trusted UK toolmakers to ensure precision, reliability, and long service life.

Common tooling types include:

• 2 Plate Moulds – simple, cost-effective for basic part shapes
• 3 Plate Moulds – allows multiple gates and more complex designs
• Hot Runner Systems – reduces waste and cycle times for high-volume runs
• Aluminium Tooling – lightweight, faster to produce, ideal for prototypes and short runs
• Steel Tooling – durable, long-lasting for higher production volumes
• Fully Hardened Tooling – for extreme longevity in continuous production
• Insert Mould Tools – for moulding around pre-formed inserts or components
• Multi-Cavity Tools – produce multiple parts per cycle for efficiency
• Family Tools – different parts moulded in one cycle from the same tool

Whether you’re looking for prototype tooling, short-run solutions, or high-volume production tools, our team will guide you to the most cost-effective and efficient option for your project.

We source our mould tooling from local suppliers.
