and much much more...
 
    Welcome to Short Run Plastics - an experienced source of injection moulding tools and plastic parts out of China and a serious competitor to rapid prototyping.

    While we started out doing short runs of plastic injection moldings, because nobody else was interested, we do much much more these days.
    
    Short run plastics strength lies in the fact that customers only have to deal with ONE supplier for plastics, metalwork, assembly and packaging and we are able to guarantee what we do with our China office.
 
 
 
Apologies for a short time while we upload new photos.
    Typical tooling time for average sized parts is 30 to 45 days.

Plastics
The core of our business remains plastic injection tools and mouldings and we now deal with more than 8 qualified factories to cover all customer requirements.
injection mouldings general
 
We supply small parts, large parts and all sorts of parts in a wide range of materials such as: ABS, PC, PC-ABS blend, POM, PBT, Nylon 6 and 66, PVC, rigid PVC (as in PVC pipes), PP, HDPE, HIPS, GPPS and many more.
 
We supply clear parts. Most clear parts are either lens for LCDs or light-pipes for LEDs.
injection mouldings clear
Injection Mouldings Soft
 
We supply soft and flexible parts which are made from thermo-plastic-elastomers (TPEs) or thermo-plastic-rubbers (TPRs). Most are used for water-proofing or weather-proofing in some way.
 
We supply overmoulds. Mainly used for waterproofing, they often include an integral button.

We supply tiny parts.
 
 
 
 
 

For some customers, we have made single cavity trial tools to allow them to test a concept of a new/complex product before they proceed further with multi-cavity tooling. This often takes 5 or 6 rounds of tuning by working with the customer to help them modify their design to achieve the desired results.

We concentrate on LARGE blow mouldings and can blow parts with a wall thickness greater then 5mm.
 
 
 
 
 
We supply rotational moulded parts, or rotomouldings as they are commonally called. All are made from LDPE and are quite large. While the parts are large and freight is expensive, the jobs we have done tend towards the complex with quick tooling time being very important.

plastics fabricated acrylic
 
 
 
We supply sheet acrylic that is then fabricated into a shape and printed for point-of-sale (POS) or point-of-purchase (POP) displays for retail stores, among things.
 
 
 
 
 
Plastic Extrusions & Co-extrusions
 
Wesupply quite a few plastic extrusions and co-extrusions, all for the retail display industry. A few of the plastic extrusions are quite complex. They are made from PVC and come in a variety of colours.

We supply pultrusions. It is commonally made of polyester epoxy and 70% glass filled.
 
 
 
 
We supply simple Vacuum Formings for retail packaging. We also do more complex Thermo Forming for thicker industrial parts..

We supply laser engrave painted plastics to show the base colour underneath.
 
 
 
 
We supply a lot of machined plastic parts becasdue they are better than SLAs and similar rapid prototyping techniques.

Metalwork
Aluminium Extrusions
 
We supply a LOT of aluminium extrusions. They range from small heatsinks to medium sized commercial extrusions to very large extrusions that weigh 20kg per meter. Some extrusions we supply anodised and in long lengths.
 
The majority of the sheet metalwork we supply is hard tooled but some is from a CNC machine. Hard tooling small to medium sized parts is cost effective in China, even for modest volumes. We currently supply steel, stainless steel and aluminium components.
 
sheet metal
 
turned metal
 
 
 
We supply quite a few turned metal parts, most in brass.
Some are manufactured by automatic lathe and some manually, depending on the quantity.
 
 
 
 
We supply stamped metal parts or punched metal or progressive punching depending on your terminology. Most of thes parts fall into the small size, high volume category like battery contacts. These are typically made from stainless steel or phosphor bronze which is then nickel plated.

Pressure Die Casting
 
We supply both zinc and aluminium pressure die-castings.
Zinc is viable for modest volumes but aluminium really needs some reasonable volume to help justify the added complexity
.
 
 
 
We supply stainless steel investment castings (lost wax castings). They suit certain industries.

We supply lead castings, mainly as weights.
 
 
 
 
Most of the formed wire products supply are for the retail display industry and are chrome plated. Alternatively they can be epoxy coated.

We supply laser cut parts for complex shapes in steel and stainless steel. Wood and acrylic are also possible.
 
 
Springs are very low cost and we only supply them as part of total project. The minimum MOQ is usually 10-20,000.

Where the metal is too thin to be punched, we can supply chemically etched parts instead.
 
Other
 
Silicone Rubber Keypads
 
Many of the electronic plastic housings we make require silicone rubber keypads. They are made by a compression moulding technique and the tooling cost is relatively low compared to injection moulding.
 
We supply Decals and Labels of all types.

We supply customised Wheels and Castors.
 
 
 
We supply heat formed EVA foam and fabricated EVA cases.

To assist custoemers we can help supply some promotional items like colour changing mugs, bags, keyrings, USB Flash Drives etc.
 
 
 
We can supply furniture made from laminated MDF.
