“Looks like we have another winner of an injector for the 56oz mold. Based on the one mold we are currently sampling, the injector you have supplied us with is performing well after 36 hours. We appreciate your usual cooperation and insight, in working together, toward making necessary improvements in our bottle blowing processes.”
“Thanks to all for getting the mold delivered quickly, due to the circumstances. Please pass along to everyone in the shop.”
“We have been very happy with results and turnaround. Creative has helped us on numerous occasions including rush repairs. Thanks Creative, we truly appreciate everything you do!!!”
"We always try and build our molds with Creative because we know we are getting a quality mold and that your engineering team really looks out for us. If you see something that doesn't make sense you question it instead of doing something that you know may be wrong - even if the issue is on our end. We appreciate your attention to detail and it shows in the quality of your work."
“The sample run was better than expected. The narrow deep handle tends to stay in mold. We ran samples at 230g & 250g rather well. Still this is unproven being a chemical package at light gram weights. We will wait and see customer response.”
“The unit mold ran great. Everyone here, including the customer is very pleased.”
"We sampled both molds and the samplings went very well. Thanks for making our job easier on new mold samples."
“10L ran today. Our customer just left and they are very happy. Mold needed some minor adjustments to tune in but everything worked well, passed all drop test and they are 10-15 grams under weight. Great work! We need 3 more cavities in 4 weeks.”
