All plastic material is not created equal—and your selection can have a big effect on your product’s performance and costs. Certain plastics react badly when interacting with other materials, as they wear down faster or create product failures. Other plastic materials may provide additional alternative solutions, such as improved weight or better functionality for engineered plastic components. Also, manufacturers in specific industries, such as the agricultural industry, medical industry, and food and beverage industry may require specialized plastic parts and assemblies to avoid product contamination that could impact the health and safety of end users.
That’s why material analysis and management are key steps in our processes. We manufacture to lot sizes that match your needs, perform quick mold changes, provide flexible ordering systems and offer just-in-time delivery with the option of using returnable packaging. Combined with evaluating plastic materials to determine product feasibility, you eliminate possible production hurdles by having the right plastic materials at the start of your project.
