Parting line
Encyclopedia
A parting line in mold
making is the place where two or more parts of the mold meet. At times, either because the mold halves do not meet with enough precision or because injection pressure is high, material will creep into the space between the molds. This material is generally called molding flash
or simply flashing. At times the parting line shows up as a raised line around the product (witness mark) on commodity products such as toys.

Molding flash
Flash, also known as flashing, is excess material attached to a molded, forged, or cast product, which must usually be removed. This is typically caused by leakage of the material between the two surfaces of a mold or between the base material and the mold...
