Brampton, Ontario, Canada: StackTeck Systems Ltd., a global manufacturer of multi-cavity, high-volume production molds, has now added stack mold applications to its FastTrack^TM program, a new approach to fast mold deliveries, using automated design capabilities that work with a pre-set, optimized set of mold design rules.

Stack molds for round lids and containers are now available for molds of up to 2×16 cavities, making them especially attractive to those companies in need of increased productivity as a response to sudden market demands for food packaging applications.

In recent weeks, StackTeck has achieved record lead times for round container and lid molds, with deliveries in the range of 6-9 weeks. Considering two examples from the FastTrack^TM leadtime matrix, the lead time for a round container mold in a 2×2 configuration is 6 weeks from order until mold test and at the same time, a 2×16 round container mold lead time is now 11 weeks under the FastTrack^TM program. Round lid molds also average 6-10 weeks on stack mold configurations starting with 2×2 and up to 2×16 cavities.
