A mould for injection compression moulding of an article includes a female mould part and a core for mounting in use on the platens of an injection moulding machine for movement towards and away from one another between an open and a closed position. A sealing ring surrounds the core for effecting a seal between the female mould part and the core. The core, the female mould part, and the sealing ring together define a closed mould cavity as the core approaches the closed position. The sealing ring has tapering sections, each tapering section having a tapering surface that seals against a tapering surface on the core only after the core has reached the closed position, leaving a venting clearance between the tapering surfaces of tapering sections of the sealing ring and the tapering surface of the core as the core approaches the closed position.
