Our Plastic Injection Moulding Capabilities
Plastic Enclosure Mouldings
We specialise in manufacturing plastic enclosures for the electronics sector and beyond. Whether you need a simple housing or a complex multi-part assembly, we ensure consistency, structural integrity, and a smooth finish with every piece. We handle everything from design for manufacturability (DFM) to final production, ensuring a high-quality product that meets industry standards.
Mechanical and Consumer Components
Our plastic injection moulding process is ideal for producing high-volume, intricate parts. From mechanical components to bottle caps, we ensure precision and repeatability, perfect for mass production with tight tolerances.
How Our Plastic Moulding Process Works
Every project begins with a detailed design review to identify potential manufacturing challenges and recommend solutions that enhance both cost-efficiency and performance. Here’s how we deliver value at every stage:
- Initial Consultation & Quotation
We assess your design and offer expert technical feedback along with the most competitive pricing. - Engineering & Tooling Design
We use advanced tools like mould flow analysis and full assembly reviews to prepare for production. Tooling designs are supplied for your approval—and all tools remain 100% customer-owned. - Sampling & Approval
First off, samples are provided to validate fit and function. We then apply the required finishes and supply final samples for sign-off. - Production & Delivery
Once approved, we begin production and work to ship your first order promptly. We also offer UK-based stock holding to reduce lead times and streamline your supply chain.
Specialist Services to Support Your Product Development
Plastic Injection Moulding– High-Precision Components for Any Industry
We offer fully bespoke plastic injection moulding services to suit any application—from industrial machinery to medical devices. Using advanced moulding techniques and durable polymers, we deliver consistent, high-quality components at scale. Our in-house experts work closely with you to ensure each part meets your functional, aesthetic, and regulatory requirements.
Double Injection Mouldings – Two Materials, One Seamless Process
Our double injection moulding (also known as two-shot moulding) allows for the combination of two different materials or colours within a single component. Ideal for products requiring soft-touch grips, ergonomic features, or multi-colour branding, this technique enhances product performance and visual appeal without additional assembly.
Plastic Key Caps – Custom-Moulded Keypads & Control Interfaces
We manufacture plastic key caps for electronic devices, machinery, appliances, and control panels. Our process ensures crisp legends, durable finishes, and accurate tactile feedback—key features for user-facing components. Options include pad printing, laser engraving, and in-mould labelling for long-lasting visibility and branding.
Prototyping and 3D Printing – Rapid Development, Faster Market Entry
Accelerate your product launch with our prototyping and 3D printing services. We offer fast, cost-effective solutions for visual models, functional testing, and pre-production trials. This helps you refine your design, validate part performance, and reduce costly revisions before investing in tooling.
In-Mould Decoration (IMD) – Premium Finishes Built to Last
Our in-mould decoration service integrates high-resolution graphics, textures, and finishes directly into the moulding process. This technique offers superior durability compared to surface printing and is ideal for products that demand a high-end, professional look. Common applications include consumer electronics, automotive interiors, and branded packaging.

FAQ About Plastic Case Mouldings
What are plastic case mouldings used for?
Plastic case mouldings are used to create protective enclosures for electronic devices, consumer products, and industrial components. They offer durability and lightweight protection, and can be customised to meet specific design and functional requirements.
What materials are commonly used in plastic case mouldings?
Common materials for plastic case mouldings include ABS, polycarbonate, and polypropylene. These materials are chosen for their strength, impact resistance, and ease of moulding, making them ideal for a wide range of applications.
How does the plastic injection moulding process work for cases?
The plastic injection moulding process involves melting plastic pellets and injecting them into a mould cavity to form the desired shape. Once cooled, the mould opens, and the finished product is ejected. This process is efficient for mass production and ensures consistent quality.
Can plastic case mouldings be customised?
Yes, plastic case mouldings can be fully customised to meet specific design and functional needs. This includes custom shapes, colours, finishes, and even the integration of features like mounting points or ventilation slots.
What are the benefits of using plastic case mouldings?
The benefits of using plastic case mouldings include cost-effectiveness, design flexibility, lightweight construction, and the ability to produce complex shapes with high precision. They also provide excellent protection for internal components.
How do I start a project for custom plastic case mouldings?
To start a project, contact a plastic injection moulding expert like Rubbertech. They will guide you through the design, tooling, prototyping, and production stages to ensure your specific requirements are met efficiently and effectively.
Are there environmental considerations with plastic case mouldings?
Yes, many manufacturers are now focusing on using recyclable materials and sustainable practices in the production of plastic case mouldings. It’s important to discuss these options with your supplier to align with environmental goals.
