MOLDING SHORT RUN

When it comes to low-volume molding – annual pieces numbering as few as 100 – Commercial Plastics has your project requirements covered. Our short-run injection molding capabilities are supported from design through distribution with the same commitment to quality control and customer service as our large-volume molding.

Short-run injection molding at Commercial Plastics complies with the same rigorous time-to-market standards and helps us serve customers in a wide range of industries. We carefully manage our processes to reduce lead times by employing quick changeover tools that reduce setup time and cost. Flexible work cells also minimize handling, which ensures low-volume molding projects remain cost-effective.

Similar to CPC’s high-volume molding, our short-run injection molding projects take advantage of complete in-house engineering and tool-maintenance services. We also offer over-molding, insert molding and secondary operations for low-volume molding.
