TOOLING DESIGN
25 years of experience at the design of tooling for plastic decorating has made Custom Plastic Impressions a forerunner in the plastics industry when companies require imprinting on plastic products. Let us design an effective, yet cost effective tooling package that will insure ease of set up, while giving you the imprint quality required in this demanding environment.

HOT STAMP TOOLING
Upon assessing your decorating needs, we will manufacture a plastic decorating system designed to suit your project requirements. We understand that many products are manufactured in low volume production runs, and that costs can become a deciding factor when decorating the product. Although we can produce tooling manufactured to last throughout long running product runs, we have developed a very cost effective way to manufacture hot stamp tooling, tailored to small manufacturers and low volume production runs.

PAD PRINTING JIGS & FIXTURES
Although pad printing machines require far less complicated tooling systems than hot stamping machines, it is still quite important to have your parts supported and registered correctly in the machine during printing. Casting resins allow for relatively inexpensive methods for producing support fixtures, while greatly reducing the overall cost of tooling when preparing fixtures for conveyor systems or rotary tables. Call us for a quotation, and you will be pleasantly surprised at how reasonable tooling costs can be.

CONTOURED DIE BLOCKS & MOLDS
One of our specialties is manufacturing contoured tooling and silicone rubber dies for hot stamping on irregular surfaces and contoured plastic parts. Metal die blocks can be machined to match your product contours, then “soft backed” silicone dies are shaped to fit the contour, and attached to the blocks with mounting screws. This method is the most cost effective to manufacturer, however, for large ongoing production runs we strongly suggest having contoured molds made to cast contoured silicone rubber pads onto matching metal die blocks. Normally, several die blocks are manufactured, allowing for fast changeovers without having to adjust the machine set up. Damaged rubber coverings are then sent back for resurfacing with new rubber.

ROLLER CORE MACHINING
Regardless of the machine manufacturer, our machine shop can produce new metal roller cores for your hot stamping rollers, at significant savings from purchasing through the equipment manufacturer. Call, fax, or e-mail us with the core specifications you require, and we will gladly quote to supply you with new roller cores.
