Multiple Component Assemblies: One of our core competencies is putting things together. Whether your assembly requires a simple two part assembly or multiple sub-assemblies, we can help. Utilizing our extensive experience in multiple component assemblies, we frequently make recommendations on part consolidation or assembly techniques that ultimately saves money for our customer.

Automated Assemblies: Depending on the volume of a project, we may recommend either partial or full automation. We have experience with a variety of automated assembly applications. The biggest determinants of whether to automate are, the projected life cycle of the part, the yearly volume, quality considerations and cost payback.

Ultrasonic Welding: Ultrasonic Welding is one of our many core competencies. Whether your project requires an automated turntable for high volume production or single station fixtures, we have been welding plastic for over 15 years, (the technology itself is not much older than that.)

Solvent Welding: Some applications are better suited to solvent welding, either because the volume doesn't justify sonic welding or because it fits the application better. solvent welding isn't rocket science, nevertheless we have a great deal of experience with solvent formulations that create the best results.

Riveting: There are a great many techniques used for bonding or connecting other materials to plastic. Riveting is a very reliable way of creating a strong bond between metal and plastic. Here again we have the equipment necessary for low volume single station riveting or high volume turntable assemblies.

Heat Staking: This is another very effective means of attaching metal to plastic.

Soldering: Perhaps your project requires Soldering, if so, we are well versed with a variety of soldering techniques.

Pad Printing: Todays Pad Printing technology provides a suitable alternative to a number of applications that were previously done in Hot Stamping. W M Plastics, has been utilizing this technology for over 15 years. With the advances in technique and ink formulations, Pad printing may well be the answer to your decorating/marking challenge. In order to be competitive on larger volume runs we also utilize both standard and customized equipment. This allows us to remain competitive while providing a value added approach to your decorating needs.

Hot Stamping: There are still a variety of applications still suited for this technology. Hot stamping can provide some clear advantages depending on what the application calls for. We have a variety of equipment ranging in size from 1 ½ ton up to 8 ton models.

Stain & Wipe: Did you know you can get a very realistic wood look out of plastic? Let us show you how.

Custom Label Application: In some cases, preprinted labels may be the most economical solution to your marking problem. There are some very exciting advances occurring in this technology. Did you know that you can get opaque labels with translucent windows for light emitting diodes?

Post Molding Inserts: This can be the most cost effective way to add inserts into your design. In some applications a post molded insert operation can be a way to use idle time between part cycles that won't affect overall cycle time. There are a variety of inserts available depending on the strength criteria for your application.

Custom Machining: When the volume does not justify costly mechanical actions in the tooling, a post molding machining operation can be the most economical way to get the desired results.
