From Mold Design to Finished Product
A practical overview of the brief, tooling, trial and production stages for plastic product development.
Explore solutions01 Start with the product brief
An OEM or ODM project needs a clear description of the intended application, target dimensions, material requirements and expected quantity.
Drawings, reference samples and photographs help the team understand the requirement.
02 Review the design and tooling
Product geometry and manufacturing requirements inform the tooling discussion. Review dimensions, connections and the intended assembly before proceeding.
Agree the scope of any design or mold development work with the team.
03 Plan the trial and production
A trial provides an opportunity to review samples against the agreed specification. Record adjustments and confirm the accepted configuration before production planning.
Quantity, components and delivery requirements should be confirmed as part of the order.
04 Keep project information accessible
Retain the agreed drawings, sample decisions and packing requirements for later reference. Consistent information helps the project move from development to repeat supply.
Contact Chenan with your brief to discuss a suitable development or manufacturing approach.
