At Coda Plastics, we are committed to delivering high-quality, sustainable plastic products and packaging solutions. Our seamless, integrated 4-stage production process ensures every project, from concept to final product, meets the highest industry standards. With expertise in design, development, prototyping, and manufacturing, we provide a complete solution for your plastic packaging needs. Here’s an overview of how we work:
1. Design: Crafting Innovative Solution
The design phase is the foundation of every successful project. At Coda Plastics, we integrate design with development, prototyping, and manufacturing to ensure an efficient, streamlined process from start to finish.
Our Design Process
- Understanding Your Requirements: We engage closely with your team to define the product’s purpose, functionality, branding, and sustainability goals, ensuring every detail aligns with your vision.
- Concept Development: We generate innovative ideas, discussing shapes, ergonomics, and material choices to create a design that meets your functional and aesthetic needs.
- CAD & 3D Modelling: We utilise advanced CAD and 3D modelling tools to bring your design to life, preparing it for production and optimising it for cost-efficiency.
Our design phase ensures your product is not only feasible but also ready for seamless progression into development.
2. Development: Optimising for Production
Once the design is finalised, we move to development, where we refine every aspect of your product to make it production-ready. This phase is crucial for optimising the design for manufacturability and ensuring compliance with regulatory standards.
Our Development Process:
- Technical Refinement: Our engineers fine-tune the design manufacturability, adjusting dimensions, material thicknesses, and structure to ensure cost-effectiveness and quality.
- Material Selection: We help you select the most suitable plastic materials based on your product’s performance needs and sustainability goals.
- Compliance: Our team ensures that the design adheres to all relevant industry regulations, including those governing food packaging, medical products, and more.
The development phase ensures the product is primed for prototyping, with all technical and regulatory requirements thoroughly addressed.
3. Prototyping: Testing for Excellence
Prototyping is an essential step in ensuring your product is ready for mass production. At Coda Plastics, we offer precision prototyping to help identify potential issues early, saving time and reducing costs.
Our Prototyping Process
- Creating the Prototype: We produce functional prototypes using 3D printing or small-batch moulding, enabling real-world testing and validation.
- Real-World Testing: The prototype undergoes rigorous testing, including drop tests, pressure tests, and functionality assessments, to ensure durability and performance.
- Refinement: Based on test results, we refine the product to ensure it meets your specifications before moving to the manufacturing stage.
Prototyping ensures your design is validated and optimised, providing confidence before committing to large-scale production.
4. Manufacture: Scalable, High-Quality Production
The final step in our 4-stage process is manufacturing. At Coda Plastics, we pride ourselves on our ability to scale production without compromising on quality, ensuring the final product meets the highest standards.
Our Manufacturing Process:
- Tooling & Production Setup: We create precise tools and custom moulds to guarantee consistency and quality throughout production.
- High-Volume Production: Our advanced machinery supports fast, consistent manufacturing, ensuring each unit meets the same high standards.
- Post-Processing & Finishing: We offer custom branding options, such as labelling, embossing, and printing, to help your product stand out on the shelf.
Our manufacturing process is designed for efficiency, minimising waste and optimising production timelines. We deliver on time, every time.
