What are you looking for in a plastic injection molding partner? What are your expectations for quality, timing of delivery, technology, production capabilities, financial health, and a continuation plan?
All of these are considerations when looking to deliver a project on time and within your budget.
Some partners, such as Crescent Industries, have evolved the capacity to offer post-processing operations to help manage the complete supply chain. This full-service approach can provide design, mold build, molding, secondary operations, and inventory management to help ensure on-time and on-budget delivery.
Choosing a supplier is not simply a matter of choosing the lowest number from a series of estimates. It's important to dig down into the core competencies of the potential partner and understand if they can handle a project from cradle to grave and beyond.

One of the biggest issues in the injection molding industry ' for molders and customers alike ' is evaluating the total cost of ownership throughout the lifetime of a project. That means understanding the difference between being price conscious and cost conscious.
It's important to understand your needs and to plan for the future. For example, one OEM chose a supplier for an initial prototyping and short-run production. But once the production demand increased, the supplier could not support the required high-volume production due to capacity and resource restraints. They had to move the tools to a supplier who could handle these high-volume orders. On the other end of the spectrum, another customer incurred steep setup fees without understanding that they had chosen a supplier that only did high-volume production.
You are not just choosing a supplier; you are choosing a manufacturing partner.
