Insert retention and location
The mold and fixture must hold each insert against injection pressure while protecting orientation and critical exposed surfaces.
PLASTIC INJECTION MOLDING
Insert Molding and Vertical Injection Molding
Insert molding places prepared components into the mold before resin is injected around them. Createch uses vertical and applicable horizontal configurations for programs that integrate metal inserts, hardware or other components into a molded plastic structure.
Capability overview
Built around the part, tool and production requirement
Insert molding places prepared components into the mold before resin is injected around them. Createch uses vertical and applicable horizontal configurations for programs that integrate metal inserts, hardware or other components into a molded plastic structure.
Createch connects product review, injection mold manufacturing, process development, controlled molding and applicable secondary operations through operations in China and Mexico.

Common applications
Plastic parts and programs to evaluate
Final manufacturability depends on geometry, resin, tolerance, finish, annual volume and validation requirements.
Threaded inserts and bushingsMetal terminals and contactsMolded-in fasteners and hardwarePlastic structures around prepared metal partsComponents requiring controlled manual or automated loading
Engineering and sourcing
What matters before production begins
Material compatibility
Resin temperature, shrinkage and mechanical requirements must be compatible with the insert material and interface design.
Loading and mistake proofing
Manual, robotic or fixture-assisted loading is selected according to volume, geometry, cycle time and risk of incorrect placement.
Verification
Presence, orientation, pull-out or torque requirements, dimensional checks and functional tests become part of the control plan when required.
Manufacturing footprint
Injection molding in China and Mexico
More than 90 injection molding machines cover an approximate combined range of 40T to 600T.
The Dongguan operation supports product development, injection mold design and build, molding, finishing and complete assembly. The Tultitlán operation supports North American production with 34 presses from 40T to 550T, insert molding, assembly, quality and on-site mold maintenance.
