Insert molding is one of the many specialized plastic injection molding services that Stack Plastics offers. Insert molding involves molding or forming plastic parts around other, non-plastic parts, or inserts. The inserted component is most commonly a simple metal object, such as a knife blade or surgical tube, but inserts can be as complex as batteries and motors, as well. Non-metal materials can also be used in insert molding components.

Stack Plastics utilizes highly-advanced vertical molding machines specifically designed for insert molding. Insert molding requires very tight tolerances to ensure correct formation of the formed plastic parts. Misalignment of even a fraction of a millimeter can lead to complete failure of the injection molding process. Our state-of-the-art insert molding equipment can meet the most exacting specifications of any project. To guarantee that the metal insert parts match these specifications as well, Stack Plastics has forged sound working relationships with several trusted vendors, who can supply us with high quality metal insert components. Our customers can supply their own inserts, as well.

Our insert molding services are incredibly flexible and customizable, allowing us to create the ideal solution for you project's unique needs, no matter what the requirements or application. We work with a variety of materials, to give your insert molding project the exact properties you need. From low volume prototypes to full production runs, Stack Plastics has the right experience and the right equipment to make your insert molding project a success.
