Secondary Operations
Pad printing, sonic welding, hot stamping, milling, drill press work, programmable wire cutting and stripping, and assembly — all in house.
About Tooling
Tool building is a craft of its own, and we would rather point you to someone excellent at it than pretend otherwise.
We work directly with a trusted toolmaker and manage that relationship on your behalf — new builds or tools transferring in from another molder. You still get one point of contact, and we stay accountable for how the tool runs once it is on our floor.

Download the spec sheet (PDF)| Category | Details / Standards | Description & Applications | Key Benefits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hard Plastics | ABS, ASA, PC, PMMA, PP, HDPE, POM, Nylon, Nylon+GF | Durable engineering plastics for high-strength, heat-resistant, structural components. | Rigidity, dimensional stability, chemical resistance. |
| Soft Plastics | TPE and TPU, various hardness | Flexible parts, grips, gaskets, and overmolding. | Flexibility, resilience, ergonomic comfort. |
| Special Property Materials | UV, chemical, abrasion & impact resistant; transparent; flexible | Compounds tailored to specific environments. | Durability and performance where it matters. |
| Material Supply & Certification | Data sheet / COC / COA available | Traceable raw-material supply for stable quality. | Batch traceability and compliance. |
| Surface Finish – Polished | SPI | Smooth or glossy surfaces for cosmetic parts. | High aesthetic quality, easy cleaning. |
| Surface Finish – Textured | VDI 3400 Series | Matte or spark textures for industrial and consumer use. | Reduces glare, improves grip, hides flow marks. |
| Coloring | Hopper pigment, pre-compounded, or masterbatch | Matched to run size, from prototype to very high volume. | Color consistency at the right cost. |
| Dimensional Tolerance | DIN 16742 unless specified | Stable, consistent part dimensions. | Reliable fitment and interchangeability. |
| Design Optimization | Mold flow & DFM review | Shrink, warp and stress evaluated before production. | Fewer defects, faster lead time. |
| Secondary Operations | Pad printing, hot stamping, sonic welding, milling, assembly | Finishing and assembly under the same roof. | One vendor from mold to finished box. |
