Custom Insert Molding Process Services
PMC offers custom insert molding, a specialized plastic injection molding process where plastic is injected into a mold cavity, surrounding an insert piece (or multiple pieces) placed in the cavity just before molding. This process results in a single, durable piece where the insert is securely encapsulated by the plastic material.
Advantages of Insert Molding
The insert molding process expands the possibilities of plastic manufacturing by allowing various materials, such as metal or other plastics, to be integrated into a single molded piece. This method can lower overall production costs by reducing the use of expensive metals and creating a lighter, more efficient part. Initially developed to add threaded inserts in plastic parts and encapsulate wire connections in electrical cords, insert molding now offers a broad range of uses across industries.
Capabilities Beyond Standard Molding
At PMC, we extend insert molding capabilities to achieve results that other molders may find challenging. We can manufacture multi-cavity molds, depending on part size, to increase production efficiency. Additionally, we provide secondary post-molding operations as needed to complete the assembly, offering a seamless, high-quality finish to your product.

Filtration is a specialized application of insert molding. The engineers at PMC have years of training and experience developing innovative filtration & contamination control solutions for a broad range of commercial applications. These include custom filters for drinking water, paint, small and large appliances, heavy equipment and recreational vehicles.
If you’ve ever experienced a catastrophic product failure caused by contamination, you’re intimately aware that there’s more to designing custom filters than simply fitting filtration within an allotted space.
Our engineers think outside the box when it comes to filter and screen design, generating ideas that are both effective in controlling contaminants and cost-effective to produce.
