Mold Transfer Program

Our market-leading customers are always looking to improve their supply chains in order to offer quality products at affordable prices.

At times, the solution might include outsourcing in-house plastic injection molding operations for efficiency. Maybe you already have a supplier, but you’re looking for a new one that can better meet your needs for quality or volume. Or maybe your current plastic injection molder is located overseas, and the time is right to change to a domestic supplier to secure supplies.

Enplas can assist with navigating the critical process of moving your plastic injection molding and assembly from in-house production, a different supplier, or an overseas provider to our facility to achieve your supply chain goals.

Transferring production may take the form of building new molds or tools, or a transfer of your molds or tools. Enplas is prepared either way: We have a proficient in-house tooling team, and our engineers are experienced with mold transfers. We’ll be your partner every step of the way.

Step 1: ASSESSMENT – CAN YOUR MOLD BE TRANSFERRED?

Enplas will work with you to assess whether your tools can be transferred as-is, with some modification, or if rebuilding the tool may be a better solution. Common factors that impact the transferability of molds and the associated costs include:

  • Current condition and quality of the tool
  • Production history
  • Equipment compatibility
  • And more

We will help build a detailed list of information requests for the existing supplier, ranging from mold design data, validation documentation, sample parts, tooling documentation, and more. We will also provide guidance on what other considerations to take into account, such as availability of the molding material, especially when the transfer crosses borders.

You will receive preliminary part quotes based on this information to help with your decision making. We will inform you of the possible modifications required to adapt the tooling to Enplas equipment up front.

For an example list of recommended Information Requests and other considerations for assessment, please contact us.

Step 2: MOLD PREPARATION and HANDLING

Once the mold transfer is decided upon, Enplas will provide guidance on how to prepare for the transfer (e.g., securing safety stocks, taking appropriate photos before shipping).

Upon receipt of the mold or tool, Enplas will assess and provide a thorough report on the condition and next steps for qualification. Our tooling and process engineers ensure your transferred mold is evaluated and prepared for full production carefully and swiftly with:

  • Condition assessment, including any updates to previous quotes
  • Cleaning and maintenance
  • Test runs
  • Revalidation to required standards
