Core Insert shares similarities with overmolding, incorporating disparate materials into the same part to improve properties. Both processes slightly increase molded part costs, but this is typically offset by eliminating manual post-molding operations. Lead time for overmolded and core insert molded parts is 15 days—longer than single-part injection molding but much faster than traditional core insert methods.

Unlike overmolding's two-step process, core insert molding is completed in one operation. The threaded core insert, bushing, sleeve, or boss is manually placed into the mold, plastic flows, and the part is ejected. This results in improved part strength and reliability.

Additional benefits include product weight reduction when plastic parts with metal inserts replace all-metal components, and overall part costs are frequently lower than those requiring assembly area processing.

Mold core inserts are primarily used in Daily Packaging, Medical, and Cosmetics applications. High surface finishing and coating reduce friction and increase pin service life, with tolerances reaching within 0.002mm.

Delivery time is typically 6 days for core insert parts, with specific timing dependent on quantity and drawing requirements.

We ship using express carriers such as DHL, UPS, FEDEX, etc., or according to customer requirements. Express shipping takes approximately 3 days, with proof of shipment and tracking numbers provided. Larger quantities are shipped via ocean freight for customer economy.

TT and Western Union payment accepted, or according to mutual negotiation.
