  Our 3D drawings are engineered to help clients (e.g., MHW pouch manufacturers, eco-brands) verify fit, visualize PCR material integration, and streamline packaging design – critical for bulk ordering and sustainability reporting.
     	- Primary Tools: SolidWorks 2024 (for precision modeling of MHW pouch neck compatibility) + Blender 4.0 (for photorealistic PCR material texture rendering).
  	- Accuracy: Dimensional tolerance ±0.05mm – ensures 3D models match physical caps and MHW pouch specs exactly.
  
     
   	 		 			| 3D View |  			Details & Client Value |  		
 	 	 		 			| MHW Pouch-Cap Assembly View |  			Renders cap attached to 28mm/38mm MHW food pouches – highlights thread alignment, seal contact, and how the cap fits MHW’s modular design. Ideal for clients testing packaging prototypes. |  		
 		 			| Cross-Sectional View |  			Details internal structure: PCR PP core (labeled “70% PCR PP”), recycled silicone seal, and thread profile – helps clients validate material sustainability claims for their own branding. |  		
 		 			| Repurposing Demo View |  			Shows cap reused on a standard mason jar (common home storage) – visualizes “repurpose” value, supporting clients’ zero-waste marketing. |  		
 		 			| Material Texture Close-Up |  			Renders subtle PCR material texture (vs. virgin PP) – authenticates recycled charater for clients’ sustainability reports; includes GRS certification badge overlay (for proposal materials). |  		
 	 
   
     	- File Formats:
 	• Editable: STEP (for client’s MHW pouch design integration) + STL (for 3D printing prototypes, e.g., testing cap-pouch fit).
 	• Ready-to-Use: High-res PNG (transparent background, for marketing) + PDF (with dimension callouts and PCR material notes, for sustainability audits).  	- Complimentary Add-On: 3D render of cap with client’s logo (upon request) – no extra cost for bulk orders.
  
       
  Production follows a closed-loop, sustainability-first process to ensure PCR material quality, MHW pouch compatibility, and food safety – aligned with eco-brand clients’ values.
     	- PCR PP Collection: Source post-consumer PP from GRS-certified recyclers (e.g., plastic bottle waste, food packaging scraps) – traceable to original material via batch IDs.
  	- Material Sorting: Automated sorting (via near-infrared sensors) to remove non-PP contaminants (e.g., PET, metal) – ensures 99.9% PP purity (critical for food safety).
  	- PCR Silicone Sourcing: Partner with suppliers of recycled silicone (post-industrial waste from food-grade applications) – tested for chemical residues via GC-MS.
  
     	- PCR PP Washing: Water-based, solvent-free cleaning (no toxic detergents) to remove labels, adhesives, and food residues – wastewater recycled for irrigation (low environmental impact).
  	- Pelletizing: Melt cleaned PCR PP (180°C–200°C) and extrude into uniform pellets – blend with 30% virgin PP (for tensile strength; tested per ASTM D638 to meet MHW pouch cap durability needs).
  	- PCR Silicone Processing: Shred recycled silicone into fine particles; mold into seal rings (temperature: 120°C) – no additional plasticizers added.
  
     	- Mold Preparation: Use MHW pouch-specific molds (28mm/38mm neck sizes) – precision-machined to ensure thread alignment with MHW pouches (tolerance ±0.05mm).
  	- Injection Molding: Inject PCR PP pellets into molds (temperature: 190°C–210°C; pressure: 600–700 bar) – automated machines ensure uniform wall thickness (0.8mm ±0.05mm) for leak-proof performance.
  	- Cooling: Water-based cooling (recycled water) – reduces energy use vs. air cooling; cycle time: 15s (high efficiency for bulk orders).
  
     	- Seal Ring Insertion: Automated robotic arms place recycled silicone rings into caps – ensures centered placement (no misalignment, which causes MHW pouch leakage).
  	- MHW Fit Test: Attach caps to MHW pouch prototypes (28mm/38mm) – test seal integrity (invert with 100ml water for 24 hours; 0 leakage required).
  	- Reusability Test: Cycle cap open/close 20 times – verify seal strength remains ≥3N/25mm (per ASTM F88) after testing.
  
     	- PCR Purity Test: Randomly sample 1% of caps for PCR content verification (via Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, FTIR) – ensures 70%+ PCR meets GRS standards.
  	- Food Safety Test: GC-MS analysis (per FDA 21 CFR 177.1520) – no chemical migration from PCR materials to food simulants.
  	- MHW-Specific Check: Confirm cap dimensions match MHW pouch neck specs (via laser measurement) – rejects if outside ±0.1mm tolerance.
  
     	- Branding (Optional): Laser engraving (no inks) of client logos or “70% PCR” labels – reduces environmental impact vs. screen printing.
  	- Packaging: 100% recyclable PP bags (500 caps/bag) + FSC-certified cardboard boxes (recycled content ≥40%) – no single-use plastic fillers.
  
       
  We optimize shipping to minimize carbon footprint (aligning with clients’ sustainability goals) and ensure timely delivery to MHW pouch manufacturers and brands globally.
     	- Primary Protection: Caps packed in recyclable PP bags (heat-sealed to prevent dust) – labeled with batch number, PCR content, and GRS certification.
  	- Secondary Packaging: FSC-certified corrugated cardboard boxes (5-layer, ECT-32 grade) – internal dividers made from recycled paper (prevents cap movement during transit).
  	- Sustainability Labeling: Each box includes “Carbon-Neutral Shipping” badge (offset via EU-certified reforestation projects) and “Recycle Me” instructions (for post-delivery packaging disposal).
