<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>The paper is a preliminary report on glass fiber and glass flake orientation in the weldline zone of injection molded reinforced polypropylene. Two types of weldlines were studied using simple shape molds: one where two melt streams meet head‐on and become immobilized, the other where the weldline formation is followed by additional flow. In the weldlines of the first type, which are characteristic of current standard molds used to test weldline strength, the anisometric particles are almost perfectly oriented perpendicular to flow. As a result, the weldlines of this type tend to be weak and brittle. In the second case when the weldline is formed by merging of melt streams separated by an insert, particle orientation in the weldline area remains different from other areas of the sample for long distances from the insert. It is shown that in molds where the weldline formation is followed by laterally expanding flow the change of particle orientation is faster than for unidirectional flow.</jats:p>
