Top 6 Reasons to Use Plastic Injection Molding in Your Manufacturing Project

September 22, 2024

Since prehistoric peoples advanced from using rocks to shaping tools out of copper and iron, metal and wood have been the favorites for making nearly any parts and components. Even well into the 20th century, most plastics were too weak or brittle to take the place of metal parts. Today, custom plastics manufacturing can take advantage of innovative plastic formulations that can meet or exceed metal's performance. 

1. Cost-Effective

After initial setup, production is primarily automated, reducing labor costs and allowing production to run around the clock. A wide variety of resin and molding options mean there's a suitable material and technique to meet any budget.

2. Versatile

Endless combinations of plastic resins, additives, molding techniques, and finishing steps mean almost anything is possible with injection molding. Innovations in plastics offer every color, texture, and formulations with numerous specialized characteristics including performance equal to or better than metal. 

3. Sustainable

With recycled resins, bio-plastics and a minimal waste process, injection molding can be very environmentally friendly, especially in our facility where sustainability is part of our mission.

4. Efficient

From automated, rapid production to lightweight parts that minimize the costs of transportation, injection molding can be highly efficient in time and resources.

5. Customizable

A rainbow of colors, special effects, textures, and finishes along with an array of resins, molding techniques, and value-added services mean parts and products that meet or exceed your design and performance specifications.

6. Accurate & Consistent

Injection molding allows manufacturing with a precision that rivals metal, and offers extended, high-volume production runs with accurate, consistent, reliable results.
