Overmolding Injection Molding
Overmold is made for overmolding insert molding which is a special injection molding process that can combine various materials into a single part. Through mechanical and/or chemical bonding of two plastic materials, the overmolding injection molding process can be used to help product designers achieve additional functions or aesthetics that are not practical.
Here at Packson, we have over 10 years experience for making overmold and we've been working with BD, Lear for creating overmolded part which is used for medical and automotive overmolded parts.
Characteristics of Overmold
With the rapid development of mold making, overmold becomes very popular for molding parts with better practicality. The followings are the characteristics of overmold/overmolding:
-Combine two materials for reaching additional function
-Cheaper than molding separate two different materials
-Better product properties like waterproof, shockproof, and windtight
-Various textures feel
Advantage of overmolding vs insert molding
Overmolding may cause additional cost of operating and machine costs. However it still brings us many advantages:
Improved Part Performance
Overmolding has a strict requirement and ensures the mating of parts.
Decrease the part cost
The overmolding remove the processing of secondary operation so it will help to reduce some labor cost also overall cost.
Enhanced Design Flexibility
It is feasible to design and manufacture complex assembly of multi-material parts by overmolding

Application of Overmolding Mold
As an injection molding company in China, we use overmolding for a variety of industries.Here are some examples of application for overmolding:
-Consumer part
Look around you house. You can find many overmolding products from toothbursh to children's game parts.
-Automotive Part
Electronic sensors and other automobile parts made of metal and plastic or rubber materials are usually manufactured by overmolding.
-Medical Part
Defibrillators, medical cables and wires are usually made by overmoldin and encapsulated in plastic for protecting important parts.
