Plastic Molding Manufacturers

There are many plastic injection molding manufacturers in out there in the world today and there are certain attributes you need to consider when choosing the appropriate plastic injection molding companies. At United Global Sourcing, Inc. we have been involved in plastic injection molding since our inception of 1981 and want to give you a few pointers when choosing the appropriate plastic injection molding company.
1) Make sure that you have a defined 3D drawing specifying the draft angles, surface textures, and maximum allowable flash. Be sure to include all design specifications, shrinkage allowance, and other pertinent details in the drawings.
2) Obviously cost is also very important and making sure that you receive the value plus receiving the absolute lowest cost possible when considering a plastic injection molding company. However, stay away from the cheapest, always go for value research the supplier you’re dealing with and make sure to get customer references.
3) When looking for custom plastic molding make sure you are using someone who has experience in your product or component. If you are in aerospace, you will not want to use a plastic molding supplier who supplies toys. What is their history and what do they make?
4) Do you have additional add-ons or inserts or assembly that is required? Can your injection mold manufacturer provide all of this service? The one stop shop is always more convenient and usually the best value when considering your source for customer plastic molding.
5) Make sure that your custom plastic molding company meets your quality requirements whether PPaps or just standard first article inspection requirements. Is your plastic injection molding manufacturer set up to handle your quality requirements?
6) Does your injection mold manufacturer meet all of their delivery schedules as required? Obviously this is very important requirement for you and you need to make sure that the injection mold manufacturer performs and is consistent in meeting deadlines.
7) Is your customer plastic molding company certified and do they do control charting and understand flow rates and how to use runners? Also, are they fully responsible for the molds and do they have their own tool shop to make molds and do repairs? If not how is this handled and do they have control over their mold maker?
