Recent market analysis shows that demand in plastics injection molding has bounced back to pre-pandemic activity levels. While some of the uptick is attributed to rapid e-commerce growth and the need for plastic packaging solutions, standard and custom injection molding applications in other sectors are also key contributors. By volume, global use of injection-molded applications is expected to grow year-over-year in several major industries. Let’s take a closer look at the prevalent 2024 trends behind the continued global growth in the plastics injection molding market ..read more

Value Analysis/Value Engineering (VA/VE) is a systematic approach to cost management. Using value engineering (VE) during the design phase of a new injection-molded part balances part cost and functionality — especially when an experienced molder is engaged early on to implement VE. In short, the process ensures a part’s value is improved at each stage of its life cycle. Value analysis (VA) is similar to VE in that it focuses on cost reduction. However, instead of being applied during design of a new part, VA is used during production of existing parts. Each stage of production and every line ..read more

For companies that require tight-tolerance, sophisticated plastic injection molding capabilities, it's important to partner with a full-service complex injection molder that is diversified rather than specialized. It seems counterintuitive to choose an injection molder that isn’t focused on your main market, but there is sound reasoning to seek supplier diversification. There are the more obvious benefits, like reliability in delivering quality products and value-added services, which may be second only to mitigating the potential risks of working with a molder that touts market specializatio ..read more

Complex applications typically require custom injection molding solutions. It’s an investment OEMs are willing to make in order to get safe, effective parts and products to market — and one that provides value beyond price point if the injection molder is focused on Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) instead of per-part pricing ..read more

Sustainability is an increasingly urgent concern for businesses.  On one hand, consumers, industries, and governments demand greater transparency into brands’ environmental, social, and economic impacts. On the other, companies’ own future viabilities depends on the long-term sustainability of their business strategies. Conversations around sustainability have jumped the tracks from nice-to-have to must-have. And plastic injection molding, as an integral part of so many manufacturing processes, is part of the conversation ..read more

The design of injection molded parts can be incredibly complex. Sometimes, it’s a byproduct of what’s needed for the application; other times, it could be a result of over- or under-thinking what needs to be accomplished. Working with a custom injection molder that relies on Design for Manufacturability (DfM) practices to establish realistic design goals and production expectations is a significant advantage. However, there are certain design considerations for injection molded parts an OEM can contemplate — and correct, if needed — before collaborating with a molding partner and their DfM te ..read more

OEMs across many industries enjoy the benefits of injection molding. It’s ideal for consistent, affordable production of a wide range of high-quality, complex plastic parts suitable for nearly any application and environment ..read more

Working with an experienced custom injection molder benefits manufacturers on many different levels. From a program perspective, having plastics-specific insights guide design, engineering, and production leads to consistent, high-quality outcomes. Operationally, the service and support offered by an established team of diverse injection molding professionals often translates to higher profitability through time and cost savings ..read more
