Overmolding

Advanced Overmolding Solutions for Durable, High-Performance Products

​

At Plastic Molding Manufacturing, we specialize in Overmolding, a highly efficient and versatile manufacturing process that involves injecting a second resin over or around a pre-molded substrate to create a single, unified component. This innovative technique allows for the combination of different materials—such as rigid plastics with soft-touch elastomers—in one streamlined cycle, delivering improved product performance, aesthetics, and functionality.

​

Overmolding is completed in a single injection cycle, eliminating the need for secondary assembly operations. This not only reduces production time and labor costs but also minimizes material waste and enhances sustainability. By combining components during the molding process, manufacturers gain greater control over part integrity and consistency—key advantages in today's competitive market.

​

But Overmolding does more than just simplify manufacturing. It unlocks a wide range of design and performance benefits, including:

• Improved ergonomics – Add soft, non-slip grips to handheld tools, medical instruments, or consumer products for better comfort and control

• Enhanced durability – Provide shock absorption, vibration dampening, and structural reinforcement for parts exposed to high-stress environments

• Waterproofing and sealing – Encapsulate and protect sensitive electronics or mechanical components from moisture, dust, and contaminants

• Superior product aesthetics – Integrate multiple colors, textures, or finishes in a single part to boost product appeal and brand identity
   

Overmolding is ideal for a variety of industries, including medical devices, defense equipment, automotive parts, industrial tools, and consumer electronics. Whether you're designing a rugged outdoor GPS unit, a precision surgical instrument, or a power tool handle built for heavy-duty use, Overmolding helps you create products that are not only functional—but also safer, longer-lasting, and more user-friendly.
 

We have an experienced engineering and production team that works closely with you to develop custom Overmolding solutions tailored to your performance, material, and cost requirements. With decades of experience, in-house tooling capabilities, and U.S.-based ISO-certified facilities, we deliver high-quality, repeatable results at scale.
