Moulded for Hygiene, Built for Performance
From plastic caps and closures to protective machine guards and automated packaging clips, injection moulded components are essential to the food and beverage supply chain. In Birmingham, a city with a strong heritage in food manufacturing and processing — Stephens Plastic Mouldings partners with businesses across the sector to deliver safe, precise, and scalable plastic parts.
Whether you’re building packaging automation systems, bottling lines, or food-grade containers, we mould high-performance components that meet hygiene, compliance, and reliability standards — made in the UK and delivered with short lead times.
Why Injection Moulding Works for Food Applications
Food Contact Compliant Materials
We mould using food-grade polypropylene, polyethylene, polycarbonate and ABS — with compliance to FDA, EU10/2011 and other food safety standards.
Clean Finish & Contamination Control
Injection moulding produces smooth, non-porous surfaces that minimise microbial retention and are easy to clean or wash down in production environments.
Efficient at Volume
High-volume lines depend on repeatable parts. Injection moulding ensures consistent output, fast turnaround, and minimal material waste.
Tailored for End Use
We design parts to integrate seamlessly into automated packaging, filling, or cutting systems — maximising uptime and compatibility.
Injection Moulding Services for Food Packaging & Equipment
Design for Food Contact & Machinery Integration
Our engineers help adapt your part design to ensure safe contact zones, low residue traps, and mechanical compatibility with belts, conveyors, or filling lines.
In-House Tooling for Food-Grade Projects
All mould tools are made in-house using CNC machining, ensuring full traceability and better long-term control over hygiene-critical components.
Prototyping for Fit, Flow & Function
We provide sample mouldings and trial parts to help you test flow performance, weight distribution, or mechanical properties before committing to full-scale production.
Short Runs & Mass Supply
From 100 parts for a new filling system to 250,000+ closure components for retail packaging, we scale output based on your volume needs.
