What is injection molding?
Injection molding is a manufacturing process in which Nicolet Plastics specializes in. It’s all about producing plastic parts in high quantities, performed by injecting melted materials (typically plastic) into molds. We often utilize this mass production process to manufacture hundreds or thousands of identical plastic items.
The typical applications of injection molding manufacturing
Primarily, injection molding is used to create different objects, from everyday household items to parts for cars, computers, and much more.
Here are some common injection molded products:
- Plastic toys
- Power tools
- Brush handles
- Luggage handles
- Automotive dashboards
- Medical devices
Benefits of our injection molding service
Using an injection molder to fulfill large orders provides an extensive range of advantages that can help us meet any project or demand you may have. These include:
- Using plastic injection molding enables the production of large volumes of uniform parts with tight tolerances and complex geometries. This machining capability in our factory allows us to create intricate designs tailored to the specific needs of your industry – all made in the USA.
- Injection molding plastic parts are compatible with various colors, surface finishes and materials. Currently, there are 25,000 engineered materials used for injection molds. These include resins, silicones (such as liquid silicone rubber), thermoplastics, and thermosets. With these compatibilities, we can find the right balance in terms of the right balance of physical, mechanical, and chemical properties.
- Plastic injection molds are very efficient as molding cycles typically take ten to 60 seconds only. The maximum would be 120 seconds for complex designs. So we can finish your orders fast.
- One of the primary benefits of an injection mold machine is its high repeatability and reliability. We can create thousands of parts before our machine needs maintenance.
- In general, injection molding produces less post-production waste compared to other manufacturing processes. However, some scraps are still generated during the process. Fortunately, these scraps can be repurposed for other orders we may receive raising the sustainability.

Hear From Our Customers
Time-to-market is critical to being competitive. We pushed Nicolet Plastics to provide tools within a very aggressive timeline and they delivered samples in just six weeks.
Dean Walters | Invivo CorporationMercury Marine is very selective in who they use as suppliers. Companies must meet the high quality standards and flexibility that Mercury Marine requires. Nicolet Plastics has consistently met these criteria.
Nicolet Plastics and Mercury Marine engineering and purchasing departments worked together to redesign and prototype an existing part. Each prototype met all the specialized criteria, and through combined innovation Nicolet Plastics was able to move the part into production. The cost came in very low, allowing Mercury Marine to save money and use a better quality part.
Nicolet Plastics adapts very quickly to change, can do custom work and provides each client with the personal attention they deserve.
Matt Demmin, Packaging Engineer | Mercury MarineThe first project I ever worked on with Nicolet Plastics, Inc. was in the mid 80’s, and since then the partnership has only grown stronger. Nicolet is willing to try anything to produce the results the client is looking for.
They are on the cutting edge with tooling, equipment and design capabilities. Their design review team provides excellent input; they are creative solution-finders and are very easy to work with. NPI delivers a timely response on product and a quick turn around on tools.
When challenged with difficult mold designs Nicolet is able to simplify the process, thereby reducing costs. Utilizing their in-house rapid prototype machine allows the toolmaker to better understand how the tool needs to be created. One quality control advantage that Nicolet provides for the customer is their storyboards, which detail the proper measurements and color specifications of each piece. Through this self-certification process, Nicolet offers customers the assurance of knowing that each piece is manufactured to exact specifications. I have come to expect that quality work will always be there. You don’t realize how good Nicolet is until you try to compare quality and price somewhere else.
From the President of the company to the guys in shipping, the folks at Nicolet are host, hardworking and down to earth, some of the best people I’ve ever worked with.
Project Manager, Mechanical Engineering | MRI DevicesI have been working with Nicolet Plastics for 13 years and have never been disappointed. The people at Nicolet Plastics have a true open door policy, and extreme flexibility.
They want to be involved in the entire process of your project so they can truly understand the objectives that need to be fulfilled. In my experience, it is rare to find a plastic injection molding company that has the combination of in-house tooling and molding that they do. The quality produced is phenomenal.
Nicolet Plastics is an outstanding company. They are knowledgeable, easy to work with, provide exceptional customer service, produce high quality parts, provide flexible lead times, are always competitive on price and do precision color matching work.”
