Full service manufacturing can mean different things to different manufacturers. At Distinctive Plastics (DPI), it means that we offer everything from design to delivery, and we're here to be your injection molding partner no matter where you are in your process. Our goal is to give you an edge on your competition by providing you with full service manufacturing solutions when it comes to plastic injection molding.
Full contract injection molding services offer several benefits compared to working with multiple suppliers for different parts of the product development and manufacturing process. And clients who partner with DPI also enjoy the benefits of our expertise and the many years of experience that we have to offer when it comes to injection molding.
One of the biggest advantages to working with a single supplier like DPI for your injection molding needs is the simpler, streamlined project management. Everything that you need will be virtually in one place-product and tooling design, custom tool building, injection molding, assembly, in-mold decoration, quality control and testing, and more, depending on your manufacturing partner.
Though quality has become much more standardized thanks to organizations like the ISO, not all manufacturers adhere to the same standards of quality control or have the same quality management system. The more suppliers you have working on the same project, the more inconsistencies that you're likely to encounter when it comes to product quality. Working with a single full service manufacturing supplier will eliminate these issues.
Another benefit of full service manufacturing is the efficiency. Nearly everything to do with your project will be under one 'roof', meaning that there's far less downtime waiting for materials to travel from one supplier to the next. That efficiency also applies to costs too-you'll pay far less for shipping between suppliers, and typically for the individual services than you would paying separate suppliers for each step. Faster manufacturing and cost-effective services mean you'll be able to get your products to the market faster.
This may go without saying, but forging stronger partnerships is far simpler when there are fewer suppliers involved with product manufacturing. Working with a full service manufacturing supplier will ensure that you build a strong relationship with your supplier, and helps streamline communication as well-after all you-ll have fewer lines of communication that you will have to maintain with a full-service manufacturing supplier
