Full-Spectrum In-House
Mold Manufacturing
We control every stage of mold development -- from structural design and precision machining to trial molding and quality validation -- ensuring faster delivery and consistent tooling performance.
Structural Design & 3D Modeling
In-house CAD/CAM engineers develop precise 3D structural models using SolidWorks and Pro/E, optimizing parting lines, gate locations and ejection systems for child-resistant packaging geometries.
- SolidWorks / Pro/E 3D design
- Mold flow analysis (Moldflow)
- DFM review & optimization
CNC Precision Machining
High-speed CNC machining centers achieve dimensional tolerances of ±0.005mm on mold cores and cavities, ensuring consistent part-to-part repeatability across high-volume production runs.
- 5-axis CNC machining centers
- ±0.005mm tolerance capability
- P20, H13, S136 steel processing
EDM & Wire-Cut Machining
Electrical discharge machining and wire-cut EDM enable complex cavity geometries, fine textures and intricate child-resistant locking mechanisms impossible with conventional cutting.
- Sinker EDM for deep cavities
- Wire-cut for precision inserts
- Surface roughness Ra ≤ 0.4μm
CMM Quality Inspection
Coordinate Measuring Machine inspection validates every critical dimension of finished mold components, generating full measurement reports before any trial molding commences.
- 3D CMM full-dimension reporting
- 100% critical dimension inspection
- Digital measurement traceability
Trial Molding & Process Validation
In-house injection molding machines enable rapid T1/T2 trial shots, process parameter optimization and child-resistant function testing before mass production sign-off.
- T1 samples within 3-5 days
- Child-resistant function testing
- Process parameter documentation
Rapid Tooling & Fast Delivery
Our streamlined in-house workflow -- design, machining, assembly and trial -- compresses standard mold development to 15-25 days, significantly shortening your product launch timeline.
- Standard mold: 15-25 days
- Complex multi-cavity: 25-35 days
- Concurrent design & machining
From Brief to Production-Ready Tooling
A rigorous, stage-gated mold development process ensures quality at every step -- with full client visibility and sign-off gates.

Tooling for Every Packaging Format
Our mold capabilities cover the full range of CQ Snus Can product lines -- from child-resistant snus cans to medical-grade plastic consumables.
Child-Resistant Snus Can Molds
Complex multi-component molds for push-and-turn child-resistant closures, precision-engineered to meet ISO 8317 and 16 CFR certification requirements.
Oral Pouch Can Molds
Precision tooling for oral nicotine pouch containers with snap-fit lids, compartment inserts and custom branding features, supporting full OEM customization.
Medical-Grade Plastic Molds
Cleanroom-compatible molds for medical plastic consumables, manufactured to ISO 13485 standards with full material traceability and validated processes.
In-House vs. Outsourced Tooling
Keeping mold development fully in-house gives CQ Snus Can -- and our clients -- decisive advantages over suppliers who outsource tooling.
| Comparison Factor | CQ Snus Can (In-House) | Typical Outsourced |
|---|---|---|
| Tooling Lead Time | 15-25 days | 35-60 days |
| Design Change Response | Same-day iteration | 5-10 day delay |
| Quality Control | Full in-process control | Vendor-dependent |
| IP & Design Security | Fully protected | Risk of leakage |
| Cost Efficiency | No third-party markup | Vendor margin added |
| Child-Resistant Expertise | Specialized in-house | Generic capability |
