Custom Injection Molded Plastic Spools and Reels

Custom injection molded plastic spools and reels can support applications requiring formed plastic components, continuous strip formats, inserts, or integrated assemblies. The appropriate design depends on the part geometry, material requirements, production method, and intended application. Midwest Molding supports automotive, electronics, appliance, transportation, and consumer goods programs with tooling, molding, engineering, and assembly capabilities.

Yes. Midwest Molding provides Reel to Reel Continuous Strip Molding for injection-molded plastic components produced in continuous strips fed from reel to reel. The service includes integrated quality control systems designed to segregate defects in real time, along with project management supporting development from prototyping through production.

Yes. Midwest Molding provides cradle-to-grave project management for prototype and production tool design and build. Tooling support includes mold flow analysis, ES testing, dedicated project engineering, and evaluation of part reformulation opportunities that may reduce costs while supporting the overall molded component program.

Yes. Insert and composite molding combines materials through injection molding to create complex components, while pre-mold and overmolding injects plastic over pre-existing parts, substrates, or inserts. Two shot molding can also mold multiple materials or colors together in a single cycle, depending on the project design.

Midwest Molding serves automotive, transportation, electronics, consumer goods, appliance, and related manufacturing applications identified in its service capabilities. The company also supports electrical connector and terminal manufacturers, sensor and control device OEMs, wire harness buyers, and product companies needing prototype-to-production tooling.
