Turnkey Solutions for Balloon and Floral
PRe Plastics strives to provide complete solutions to our customers’ unique requirements, such as when Celebration Arrangements came to us to develop replacement components for the ones they were using from China.
Celebration Arrangements: A Case Study
Celebration Arrangements, a provider of custom balloon and floral arrangements, was unhappy with the quality and price of its current plastic components from China and requested PRe Plastics’ assistance in onshoring its production.
Overview:
We developed cost-effective design solutions for their injection-molded parts to replace the extruded and injection-molded parts currently made in China. Our expert engineers improved the overall design, function, and price point while meeting unique requirements, leading to the development of a new and functional product line.
Challenges:
Due to the complexity of their requirements, this project posed several challenges. First, we had to convert low-tolerance extruded and repurposed parts to consistently durable, fitted components. Key parts had to be molded flat for packaging purposes but possess a folding hinge to work at 90 degrees when assembled in clear, easily concealable material. We also had to incorporate new features in all new components while maintaining a low price point.
Solutions:
To enhance overall quality, we replaced the extruded parts with injection-molded parts possessing high-tolerance mating features necessary for an acceptable final product. We were able to design and manufacture the required flat-molded folding hinge system with enough strength to endure the product’s lifespan while meeting Celebration Arrangement’s packaging requirements.
We selected a block copolymer styrene to achieve the necessary strength and durability yet enough flexibility for the hinge. Its clarity made it ideal for concealment. Utilizing our in-house precision tooling capabilities, we were able to keep within the targeted price point with an aluminum 20-cavity family tool.
Conclusion:
PRe Plastics provided an in-house total project solution for design, development, tooling, and production for Celebration Arrangements, allowing them to onshore their manufacturing.
