6mm DME Replaceable Month & Year Mold Date Inserts

Precision Mold Date Stamps for Plastic Injection Molds

Product Overview

The 6mm DME Replaceable Month & Year Mold Date Insert is a precision-engineered date stamping component used in plastic injection molds to mark:

• Production month

• Production year

• Manufacturing traceability information

These mold date inserts are widely used in packaging, medical, and consumer product molds where production tracking and quality control are required.

Designed for easy installation and replacement, the insert can be adjusted by rotation, allowing flexible date setting without removing the entire mold system.

All components are manufactured according to DME standard dimensions or customized based on customer drawings.
