Easter - Brought to You By The Plastic Injection Moulders

When you think of Easter, your mind probably jumps to colourful eggs, adorable bunny decorations and sweet treats wrapped in vibrant packaging. But behind the scenes, plastic injection moulding plays a surprisingly big part in bringing the season to life. From packaging and toys to decorations and moulds, plastic helps make Easter as colourful, practical and fun as we experience it today.

This Easter, the Amey Plastics team thought we’d explore the role plastic components play in our seasonal celebrations. Here are just a few ways injection moulding helps shape the holiday!

1. Easter Egg Packaging

Whether it’s a supermarket shelf stacked with chocolate eggs or a luxury treat in a high-end box, plastic plays a key role in how Easter eggs are displayed, protected and transported.

• Blister packs and inner trays keep the chocolate secure and intact.

• Clear plastic windows let you and I peek at what’s inside the box.

Injection moulded packaging helps manufacturers produce consistent, protective casings in bulk, while also allowing for creative designs that appeal to customers.

2. Reusable Plastic Easter Eggs

The classic plastic Easter egg—often filled with sweets or toys—is a staple in many family celebrations.

• These hollow, colourful eggs are often injection moulded in halves that snap together.

• They're durable, reusable and perfect for egg hunts or party favours.

They’re also becoming increasingly popular as an eco-friendlier alternative to foil-wrapped chocolate eggs, especially when made from recyclable or biodegradable plastics.

3. Toys and Gifts

Many Easter gifts—especially those aimed at children—feature plastic toys either inside or alongside the chocolate treats.

• Think bunny figurines, chick-themed wind-up toys or small craft kits.

• Injection moulding is ideal for creating detailed, safe and cost-effective toys that add excitement to seasonal packaging.

Amey Plastics works with businesses to bring these kinds of ideas to life—supporting everything from prototyping to full production.

4. Seasonal Decorations

Plastic decorations—from garden Easter signs to indoor ornaments—are common in homes and shops alike.

• Durable and lightweight, injection moulded decorations are easy to mass-produce and store away for next year.

• They can be designed in all shapes, colours and finishes—perfect for bringing that springtime cheer.

5. Moulds for Chocolate and Crafts

Behind every cute chocolate bunny is a mould—and many of these are made from injection moulded plastic.

• Food-grade plastic moulds offer precise shapes, easy release and repeat usability.

• They're also used for kids' crafts, baking activities and soap making—popular family Easter pastimes.
