The blow moulding process is another method used to manufacture hollow plastic components, and it is generally used to create higher volumes of products than rotational moulding.
One advantage of rotational moulding over blow moulding is the more even wall thickness generally achieved. This regularity means that a rotationally moulded item is less likely to have weak points in its surface. Another advantage is the ease with which metallic and non-metallic inserts can be incorporated into the moulding.
