In addition to our standard catalogue products, Caplugs offers customers the option of ordering customised dip-moulded caps and plugs for optimised product protection. Using the product to be protected, Caplugs engineers design and create aluminium moulds in the specific shape required. Dip moulding technology is used to make the vinyl protection component for your product. There are a number of options available for the finish of the vinyl caps and plugs.
Prototype and design
The first step in the custom dip moulding process is the creation of a prototype for your product.

Materials
Once the design and the product prototype have been approved, the selection of raw materials (vinyl/plastisol) is made. In this stage, the customer can determine the product’s flexibility, colour, and any additional properties.
