Secondary Operations
Secondary operations enhance the functionality or aesthetics of your parts after production. You can specify these requirements in your technical drawing. Below are examples of the secondary operations we offer:
Inserts
We can install standard inserts in UNF and metric sizes, commonly used for creating durable threaded connections in plastic parts.
Pad printing
Transfer a 2D image onto a 3D part. All images are subject to review to ensure compatibility.
Laser engraving
Permanently engraves details such as part numbers, logos, or custom markings onto your parts, offering precision and durability.
Painting
Applies a custom-colour paint layer for aesthetics or functional purposes, such as improved durability or UV resistance.
Silk screening
Applies ink to a part through a stencil to create designs or text, ideal for flat or slightly curved surfaces.
Ultrasonic welding
Joins two plastic components together using high-frequency ultrasonic vibrations, creating a strong, seamless bond without additional fasteners.
UV coating
Adds a protective layer that enhances durability, scratch resistance, and UV stability while providing a glossy or matte finish.
Heat staking
Uses heat and pressure to embed metal inserts or form a joint in plastic parts, commonly used for durable assemblies.
Hot stamping
Applies metallic or pigmented foil to the part surface for decorative purposes, such as logos or text, with a high-end look.
Assembly
SYR offers the assembly of injection moulded parts, including labelling and packaging services. Discuss your specific needs with your salesperson to tailor the process to your requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the typical costs and lead times for injection moulding?
Costs vary based on tooling complexity, materials, and production volume. Tool design and manufacturing lead times typically range from 20–30 business days, while part production can start as quickly as 8 days, depending on batch size and delivery requirements.
Can I order prototypes before committing to full-scale production?
Yes, SYR offers sample production (T1) before full-scale manufacturing. Feedback on samples may lead to further iterations (T2, T3, etc.).
Do you provide assistance with optimising part designs or selecting suitable materials for injection moulding?
Yes, SYR provides DFM services and supports material selection.
Can you manufacture parts with tight tolerances?
Our standard is DIN 16742 tolerances, but we are capable of achieving tighter tolerances based on your requirements, depending on the specifics of the technical drawing and project.
What certifications are available for your injection moulding services?
We offer ISO 9001, AS9100, ISO 13485, and ISO 7/8 Medical Clean Room moulding certifications, ensuring high-quality standards for a range of industries.
What materials can you use for injection moulding?
We support an extensive range of materials, from standard plastics to customised options. With our network of manufacturing partners, we can source any material you need to meet your project requirements.
Can you run different colors of the same material?
Yes, we can run multiple colours of the same material, even within the same order. Please note that using different colours may increase the cost due to purge.
Who retains ownership of the injection mould?
At SYR, customers retain full ownership of their injection mould tools. After production, the moulds remain securely stored at our facilities. Tools can be shipped to you upon request, with any associated shipping and packaging costs borne by you. Please confirm whether you have ordered an export or non-export mould to understand any potential additional costs.
How long do you retain my mould after production?
We store your injection mould at our manufacturing partner facilities for at least two years, with the option for extended storage available upon request.
What is the lead time for reordering parts?
Reorders are seamless as moulds are stored and maintained. We provide quotes within 48 hours of your request, and lead times vary based on batch size and production schedules.
