Discover the advantages of having a single partner for injection molding and assembly, ensuring efficiency and quality in your product manufacturing.
How Injection Molding Support Can Help You Expand Your Production Capabilities
Increasing production is the key to staying competitive in today’s market. But as orders increase and product requirements evolve, even the most well-equipped facilities can run into capacity limits, quality control challenges, and production bottlenecks. That’s where injection molding support comes in.
Outsourcing parts of your injection molding process can help you gain flexibility, specialized expertise, and increased capacity. You can gain all these advantages without garnering high expenses for new machinery or labor. In this blog, we’ll explore how leveraging injection molding support can help your company scale efficiently and drive sustained growth.
Identifying Production Constraints
If you’re experiencing bottlenecks in production, outsourcing some work to a contract provider may be helpful. If you’re constantly operating near or at maximum capacity, adding more projects or production runs could slow down your output or compromise quality. Additionally, if you were to have machine downtime, this could significantly impact your operations. High rejection rates, inconsistent product quality, missed deadlines, and rising overtime costs can also be a sign that you should outsource some of your work.

Benefits of Partnering with an Injection Molding Support Provider
Access to Advanced Technology
When you partner with a contract injection molding provider, you can take advantage of its advanced technology, which can enhance efficiency and quality. At Deluxe Plastics, our line of cobots reduces injection molding costs. These cobots are designed to share space with humans and produce productivity gains that benefit our customers. Cobots have helped us lower costs by reducing labor requirements, increasing throughput by maintaining a consistent pace, and reducing downtime.
Cost Efficiency
Outsourcing your injection molding versus keeping it in-house can save you money in the long run. If you’re experiencing too much demand, you’ll have to invest in costly equipment, skilled labor, and more. When you partner with a contract manufacturer, you don’t have to invest in these resources. If demand ever trends down, you’re not left with machinery that isn’t running or people that don’t have enough work to do.
Scalability and Flexibility
Outsourcing injection molding support offers more scalability and flexibility because it allows you to adjust production volumes quickly without needing to invest in additional equipment, facilities, or workforce. This flexibility means you can meet market demand or seasonal spikes without overcommitting resources or facing downtime in slower periods.
