How to Customize Your Unique and Exclusive Product Molds?
1. Confirm Product Specification
Our consultants will start with evaluating ANKO’s clients’ inquiries, and begin the customization services accordingly. Our engineers will then follow up and verify the desired product specifications, including the recipe for the filling, thickness of the dough/wrap, ratio of wrap to filling, elasticity, pinch marks/striation, size and, weight, as well as the samples provided. Next, we will enter the “preliminary drawing” and “spec establishment” phase.
2. Sample Mold Formation & Testing
After confirming the 3D drawing of the mold can meet the clients’ expectations, a PVC plastic mold will be first made by ANKO, and undergo simulation production test runs on the actual equipment, to detect and identify any immediate problems. Then ANKO’s engineers will integrate collective factors for auxiliary design, to reduce lead time and costs. Additionally, we will provide clients with various test results, revised guidelines, photos, and videos, so they could make better decisions based on supporting facts and information.
3. Customized Stainless Steel Molds
Once the test results are approved by our clients, a formal stainless steel mold will be produced. ANKO adopts CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machines to produce the customized forming molds, which is a high-precision milling machine controlled by computers. And to ensure the product can reach global food production standards, we only employ highly durable stainless steel that meets food safety regulations.
ANKO can guarantee the quality of our products, and we have obtained many certifications from ISO, such as ISO 9001:2019. Providing you with total support for market development, backing you up, and being your most reliable business partner.
