Meredith-Springfield’s design, engineering, development and manufacturing services are state-of-the-art — and its project and information-exchange — hassle-free — so it’s easy to understand why so many top brands have called upon the company to produce blow-molded plastic bottles, containers and technical hollow articles.
The service offerings at Meredith-Springfield range from creating highly technical articles made out of engineering materials and commodity resins, to process solutions that enable optimal manufacturing of even the most difficult articles. Whether you require a few finished pieces or millions of custom-molded products, Meredith-Springfield delivers solutions of the highest quality.
PRODUCTION
The bottle and container production processes at Meredith-Springfield utilize many different commodity and specialty resins including HDPE, PP, PET, PVC, PC, AN, EPET, TPE, TPU, ABS, LDPE and Fluoropolymers.
WE ALSO HAVE THE FOLLOWING EXTRUSION BLOW-MOLDING, INJECTION STRETCH BLOW-MOLDING AND CO-EXTRUSION BLOW-MOLDING PRODUCTION CAPABILITIES:
EBM – Continuous Extrusion Blow-Molding, on twin-sided shuttle blow-molders, can produce hollow articles of varying shapes from the highly technical to the creative and whimsical. Want to add a wide-mouth opening or handle? No problem.
ISBM – Injection Stretch Blow-Molding, produced on ISBM machines is a one-step process generally suitable for non-handled bottles made with PET, PP, or PC. It is commonly used for containers that have close tolerance threaded necks, most often bottles used to hold water, juice or a variety of other products such as household chemicals, HBA, food and spices and pharmaceuticals. We use this process for highly stylized and odd-shaped (non-round) bottles where quality and consistency are key.
Multi-Layer or Co-Extrusion Blow-molding – With this process, multiple layers of resin material are extruded simultaneously to form containers that offer improved properties. Our approach permits the use of Post-Consumer Reclaimed (PCR) material – largely HDPE and PP.
DEVELOPMENT
Meredith-Springfield excels at mass production, short-run or one-time production runs — even when the short run requires the use of technically challenging or exotic resins.
Need a prototype?
Meredith-Springfield can provide samples from prototype molds and unit cavities for show/handling, filling line development, test marketing and other R&D needs.

We also offer mold reviews and sampling. If you are having technical issues with your current mold, Meredith-Springfield will inspect, sample or rebuild it for you. In short, we will help solve your technical problems and provide solutions.
