Why Use Overmoulding?

Overmoulding is a process that can improve the functionality and appearance of a product. The process involves adding a layer of soft plastic (usually TPE) over a rigid plastic part.

Here are some of the key benefits of using overmoulding:

Improved visual design and functionality – The process allows for crucial details to be added to your product for consumer use, making it more appealing and user-friendly.
Extra grip and comfort for the user
Adds flexibility to a rigid part
Cuts out extra assembly time by eliminating the need for glue or other adhesives
Providing a soft touch surface to a rigid product.

A good example of overmoulding is a toothbrush. These usually have a soft touch TPE moulded over the top of a more rigid plastic. The TPE will give the user extra grip so the toothbrush doesn’t slip out of the hand when being used, as well as being more comfortable to use.
