Services
Beaded Molded Foam Design
Our Beaded Molded Foam Design service creates optimized solutions for EPP/EPS components, ensuring molding feasibility and functional performance. We translate concepts into production-ready designs, addressing material behavior and tooling constraints. With two decades of expertise, we deliver cost-effective, scalable designs validated through prototyping.
Machined EPP/EPS Parts
We produce machined EPP/EPS parts with tight tolerances for prototyping and low-volume production. Our capabilities include complex geometries and surface finishes tailored to packaging, automotive, and industrial applications. Rapid turnaround times ensure accelerated development cycles for critical projects.
CNC Turning and Machining
Our CNC machining services create precision components from aluminum, stainless steel, and brass for mold cavities and industrial applications. Multi-axis capabilities enable complex shapes with reduced setups, supporting quantities from 20 to 500 pieces with competitive pricing.
Returnable Packaging Solutions
We design and manufacture durable EPP returnable packaging systems, including stacking trays, tote inserts, and dunnage rails. Our solutions optimize space efficiency and product protection while reducing long-term packaging costs through reusable designs.
Design Evaluation
Our Design Evaluation service assesses part geometry, material selection, and production methods to ensure manufacturability. We identify potential issues early in development, proposing modifications that improve molding efficiency and reduce tooling costs without compromising functionality.
