Turn Your Concept Into a
Precise, Costed Plan
Every custom silicone project begins with a transparent evaluation. Share your requirements, and our engineering team will deliver a comprehensive quotation covering tooling, materials, process, and timeline.
Step 01 · Preparation
Information We Need From You
Providing complete information upfront allows us to deliver an accurate quotation within the shortest lead time.
Product Drawings
2D technical drawings or 3D CAD files with dimensions and tolerances.
Material Spec
Preferred silicone type, hardness (Shore A), color, and finish.
Order Volume
Estimated annual quantity and initial order size per SKU.
Target Market
Destination region and required certifications (FDA, LFGB, CE, etc.).
Step 02 · Technical Files
Drawing & 3D File Requirements
Clear, dimensioned files allow our engineers to validate manufacturability, identify tooling complexity, and lock in production tolerances within ±0.1mm.
-
01
Accepted Formats STEP, IGES, STL, X_T for 3D · PDF, DWG, DXF for 2D drawings.
-
02
Critical Dimensions Mark key tolerances, mating surfaces, and functional features.
-
03
Reference Samples Physical samples or photos help us validate color, texture, and feel.
-
04
No Drawings? No Problem Our in-house industrial design team can convert sketches or ideas into production-ready files.
Step 03 · Material Selection
Material Grade & Hardness Specifications
Solid Silicone (HCR)
32 LinesIdeal for compression molding of larger parts, pet bowls, mats, and products requiring high tear resistance.
Liquid Silicone (LSR)
32 LinesPrecision injection molding for intricate parts, over-molding on plastics, and medical-grade applications.
Certifications Available
- FDA (US Food Contact)
- LFGB (EU Food Contact)
- CE Marking
- RoHS Compliant
- REACH Registered
- BPA-Free Guarantee
Step 04 · Volume Planning
Estimated Order Quantity
Order volume directly influences tooling strategy, unit cost, and lead time. Share your projected annual quantity and initial PO to receive the most accurate tiered pricing.
Lower volumes may use single-cavity tooling; higher volumes benefit from multi-cavity molds for optimized unit economics.
Step 05 · Compliance
Target Market & Testing Requirements
North America
FDA 21 CFR 177.2600, CPSIA, Prop 65 compliance for pet & food contact.
European Union
LFGB, CE marking, REACH SVHC, and EU 10/2011 regulations.
UK & Oceania
UKCA marking, AS/NZS compliance, and relevant animal product standards.
Global
ISO 9001 processes, custom testing via SGS, Intertek, or BV upon request.
In-House Testing Capabilities
Step 06 · Branding
Packaging & Private Label Requirements
From logo imprint to retail-ready packaging, we handle every brand touchpoint under one roof.
Retail Packaging
Custom color boxes, blister cards, hang tags, barcodes, and e-commerce-safe mailers.
Product Branding
Logo via silk screen, pad printing, debossing, laser engraving, or UV coating.
Export Packaging
Export carton specs, pallet planning, labeling for Amazon FBA, and shipping marks.
Step 07 · Engineering Review
Structure & Process Evaluation
Our engineering team conducts a DFM (Design for Manufacturing) review on every project to optimize cost, quality, and lead time before tooling begins.
Request DFM ReviewMold Flow Analysis
We simulate silicone flow, gate placement, and venting to prevent short shots, flash, and air traps.
Wall Thickness & Draft
Uniform wall thickness and appropriate draft angles for consistent cure and easy demolding.
Multi-Material Bonding
Evaluation of silicone over-molding with PP, ABS, stainless steel, or TPE components.
Secondary Process Fit
Confirm compatibility with silk screen, UV coating, assembly, die cutting, and adhesive backing.
Step 08 · Economics
