Design Guidelines for Plastic Extrusions

Good design translates into a better platsic extrusion profile -- a lower price, better quality, and on-time delivery.

Please keep these basic guidelines in mind when considering the design of your custom plastic extrusion.

UNIFORM WALL

  • Is important for uniform cooling
  • Helps avoid bowing and twisting
  • Produces better quality and tolerances
  • Improves line speed and efficiencies

CORNER RADII

  • Improves profile strength
  • Eliminates sharp edges
  • Provides less chance of breakage

MATERIAL SELECTION

  • Our engineering team can assist you in choosing the best material for your application

END USE CONSIDERATIONS

  • How will the part be used
  • What tolerances may be required
  • Finish requirements
  • Color
  • Clarity
  • Secondary Operations
