Prototyping and Tooling

Rapid Prototying
As a value-added service to our customers, Item Industries also provides rapid prototyping and short runs of molded plastic parts in relatively short times, at low cost. This allows our customers to have products made quickly for in-house or consumer testing.

Rapid Tooling
Test Molds and Rapid Tooling have become quite popular with our customers, as they can be used to test their designs, as well as allow for pilot batch production quickly for marketing campaigns and customer preference studies.

Export Tooling
Another service that we have found increasingly popular is for Item to produce the tooling for export to customers. Our customers have found that they can save 20-50% on tooling costs by having us manufacture the tools in China and then ship to them. With our rapid turnaround and accuracy of the tooling, we are able to deliver the molds faster, with higher quality, much less expensively.
