What Is Plastic Injection Molding Service
Plastic injection molding is the most widely used precision manufacturing process for plastic parts. During production, plastic pellets are melted in an injection molding machine and injected into custom plastic molds. When the molten plastic cools and solidifies, complex-shaped plastic components are obtained. All injection molding factories provide services based on this principle.
The key advantage of custom injection molding services lies in their high efficiency and cost-effectiveness for producing plastic products, ranging from dozens to millions of units. It applies to over 95% of industrial sectors including automotive and electronics.
Startups, product design firms, prototype developers, and large enterprises can all get injection-molded products maintaining 99.8% dimensional stability even at 10,000-unit production scales. Clients also receive comprehensive support like DFM, material selection, and surface treatment.

4 Key Phases in Injection Molding Solutions
Logell Mold is a trusted name in plastic injection molding services. We know how to translate client designs into precise reality; We know how to ensure stability in million-unit high-volume production runs. We know how to minimize trial-and-error costs for our customers. To achieve this, we’ve developed a vertically integrated custom plastic parts making solution:
This proven high-efficiency plastic parts making system is built upon four deeply optimized core phases:
01. Plastic Mold Design
The mold design in the mold factory decides the shape, size and accuracy of the product. The skills of mold designers can shape the injection-molded parts in aspects like quality and performance.
02. Injection Mold Making
Mold making turns the mold design drawings into real-life molds. The mold manufacturing ability of the mold company can determine the mold’s lifespan, and it affects the production cost of your products.
03. Plastic Molding Production
Plastic materials are turned into your products with the help of molds. The plastic molding factory’s ability to control molding parameters can determine how good or bad the quality of the final products will be.
04. Parts Post-Processing
By removing the flash, making surface finishes and assembling parts, First Mold can make the product look better, improve its performance, and meet customized and your special requirements.

What factors should we consider during product design?
When product designers or design companies are designing plastic products, you can consider the following points:
Product Structural Design
Demolding Design: You can set reasonable draft angles (0.5° – 1.5° for outer surfaces, 1° – 2° for inner surfaces). Please avoid undercut structures whenever possible, and use special mold structures such as slides.
Wall Thickness Design: Keep wall thickness as uniform as possible, ideally between 1mm and 4mm. Design ribs reasonably (rib thickness should be 0.5 – 0.7 times the product wall thickness, with moderate height) to avoid issues like uneven cooling, sink mark, warping, or distortion.
Assembly Structure Design: Consider mold manufacturability and injection feasibility when designing assembly structures, paying attention to snap-fit dimensions, strength, and demolding direction, as well as assembly gaps (around 0.1 – 0.3mm) to prevent interference or looseness.
Mold Design Considerations
Parting Line Design: Choose the largest contour of the product as the parting line to ensure that after opening the mold, the product stays on the moving side for easier ejection and reduces the impact of parting lines on product appearance.
Gate Design: Position the gate in areas where the product wall thickness is thicker. Select an appropriate gate type (e.g., side gate, pin gate, submerged gate, etc.) based on the product’s appearance and size. Properly determine the gate size to avoid issues like short shots or flash.
Cooling System Design: Design cooling channels close to the cavity surface and evenly distributed, with a distance of about 10 – 20mm from the cavity surface. This ensures uniform cooling of the product and prevents internal stress and deformation caused by uneven cooling.
Material Selection and Performance Considerations
Material Flowability: Choose materials with suitable flowability based on the product’s shape and structure. Melt Flow Rate (MFR) is a good measure. For complex or thin-walled products, select materials like PP or PA with high flowability.
Material Shrinkage Rate: Consider the material’s shrinkage rate and leave allowance for shrinkage. Different materials have different shrinkage rates. For example, ABS has a shrinkage rate between 0.4% and 0.7%.
Material Mechanical and Chemical Properties: Choose materials based on the product’s usage environment and functional requirements, considering factors like material strength, toughness, chemical corrosion resistance, and compatibility when parts of different materials come into contact.
