WE SPECIALISE IN HIGHLY TECHNICAL PLASTIC INJECTION MOULDING UP TO 2.5KG IN ALL THERMOPLASTICS AND FINISHES

Fern Plastics custom plastic injection moulding process produces a bespoke plastic mould product to suit exact specifications are requirements. Plastic injection moulding is the process of melting plastic pellets, which are injected into a moulded cavity when malleable.
The malleable plastic fills the mould, solidifies and the final product is achieved. The process of  injection moulding is fast, and creates an identical product with high precision, regardless of the complexity of the design. test
