Standard corrugated-sidewall tooling for high-volume takeout and bakery containers. Lower blank-holder pressure lets the foil pleat naturally at the wall, giving a lighter, lower-cost container that runs with stable, consistent cycle times.
Watch the wrinkle wall mould running live on our press – forming, ejection and the finished container coming off the line.
Letting the foil pleat at the sidewall – instead of holding it flat – is what makes wrinkle wall containers lighter and more cost-effective for high-volume, everyday container lines.
The corrugated wall absorbs draw stress through the pleats themselves, so blank-holder clearance doesn't need as tight a fit as a smooth-wall build.
Wrinkle wall and smooth wall both run on similarly thin foil gauges, so mould life isn't affected by the corrugation – wear only comes from long-term production hours. What the wrinkle wall does deliver is a lighter container at a lower cost per piece, which is why it's the common choice for everyday takeout and retail demand across many markets.
A standard 45T press typically runs 1–4 cavities for most container sizes. Small-format items like egg tart cups need less forming force per cavity, so higher cavity counts become practical within the same press tonnage.

Send inquiryEvery Wrinkle Wall Container Mould we build is fitted to the press it will actually run on – not a generic bolster size.
Every Wrinkle Wall Container Mould we build is engineered to bolt directly onto our own C-type and H-type foil container making machines, no adapter plate needed.
We also build the Wrinkle Wall Container Mould to fit third-party press brands – send us your bolster dimensions, T-slot spacing and stroke, and we'll confirm compatibility before quoting.
Older, modified, or non-standard presses are not a problem – tell us the specifics and we'll custom-fit the mould base and cavity layout to match.

Send inquiryA standard 45T C-type bed typically runs 1–4 cavities for most container sizes. Small-format items like egg tart cups are the exception – they need less forming force per cavity, so higher counts become practical within the same tonnage.
Send us your container footprint and target output per hour – we size the cavity count against your existing press, not the other way around.
Tell us your press tonnage
We check container footprint, draw depth and your press bolster size, then confirm cavity count and steel grade in writing.
Cavity block, punch and blank-holder are roughed and finish-machined to drawing tolerance on our own CNC centers.
Core and cavity go to HRC 55–58, then surface-ground back to final dimension to remove treatment distortion.
Mould runs on our own press. Container samples are measured against your drawing and shipped to you before the mould does.
Every Wrinkle Wall Container Mould is custom-built, so the number below is a starting reference – not a catalog price.
USD per standard Wrinkle Wall Container Mould, single to multi-cavity
A single-cavity mould for a simple round tray sits at the low end. A high-cavity layout with premium steel and complex edge treatment sits at the top. Most orders land in the middle once we confirm your container drawing and press.
Send us your drawing, press model and target output – we return a firm, itemized quotation within 1 business day, not a rough estimate.
Reference figures for a standard build. Final tolerance, steel grade and lead time are confirmed against your drawing and press model.

Send inquiryOne Wrinkle Wall Container Mould, four different container families – the corrugated sidewall works across trays, pans and cups without changing the forming principle.
Multi-compartment trays run on the same Wrinkle Wall Container Mould platform, with each compartment cavity tuned to its own depth and corner radius.
The corrugated wall gives this tray shape the stacking rigidity takeout packaging needs, straight off a Wrinkle Wall Container Mould.
Deeper round profiles hold shape under oven heat, a common Wrinkle Wall Container Mould application for bakeware customers.
Small-format cups run at high cavity counts, where a Wrinkle Wall Container Mould's lower forming force per cavity pays off most.

Common questions from buyers evaluating a Wrinkle Wall Container Mould for their line.
A wrinkle wall container mould lets the foil pleat naturally at the sidewall, which lowers blank-holder pressure and gives a lighter, lower-cost container. A smooth wall mould holds the wall flat for a clean, unwrinkled look, but needs tighter blank-holder tolerance matched to your foil gauge. Both use similarly thin foil, and mould life on either type comes down to production hours, not which style you choose.
From 1 up to 4+ cavities. A standard 45T C-type press typically runs 1–4 cavities for most container sizes; small-format items like egg tart cups need less forming force per cavity, so higher counts become practical. Final count is set against your press tonnage and container footprint.
Every Wrinkle Wall Container Mould we build is fitted to the press it will run on. It bolts directly onto our own MTED C-type and H-type machines, and we also custom-fit it to other brands and non-standard presses – send us your bolster dimensions and T-slot spacing to confirm.
Cr12 as standard, with Cr12MoV available for higher-volume runs. Core and cavity zones are hardened to HRC 55–58, then surface-ground back to final dimension after heat treatment.
15–25 days from drawing confirmation to trial-run sign-off for a standard build, longer for 8+ cavity or non-standard layouts. We confirm an exact date in writing once your drawing is reviewed.
Yes. Every Wrinkle Wall Container Mould runs on our own press before it ships. Container samples are measured against your drawing and sent to you for sign-off ahead of the mould itself.
Trays, pans and cups across a range of depths and finishes – divided meal trays, rectangular takeout trays, round pie and cake pans, and baking cups are common examples on the same platform.
