From our FAQ: Does PlastiCert perform more than mold design and molding work?

PlastiCert, being a full service provider, is looking to be as much of as an asset to our customers as we can. Besides being there for our customers when they are designing new parts, assisting in part optimization and material selection, we also offer options for after molding.

Project Management tip: Contacting the mold designer and the injection molder does not come AFTER the part design is finished.

Why pay for expertise and not take advantage of it?

Molds can talk to you, if you listen.

Performing preventative maintenance or repairs to a mold can be straightforward. With documentation to identify what has been done in the past and what needs to be done immediately, it can be a smooth running system. The mold will be taken care of a right back into production. However, if you assess the mold during […]

Is it the part design or the mold?

Article originally posted on Plastics Today website on December 6th 2013, written by Clare Goldsberry. “…Craig Porter, president and owner of PlastiCert Inc., is so convinced of the importance […]
