Does specifying recycled plastic mean compromising on colour choice or supply consistency? Not necessarily.

At UB Plastics, our recycled material programme currently supports 13 different colours, giving customers more flexibility when incorporating recycled content into their products. We have also established a UK-sourced supply chain for recycled feedstock, helping us maintain consistent material availability and quality.

Our experience goes beyond our own 100% recycled tamper-evident caps. We have spent years developing the knowledge needed to process recycled polymers effectively and can apply that experience to suitable customer projects across brewing, beverage, food packaging, and construction.

If recycled content is part of your next moulding project, speak to our team about the material, colour, performance, and production requirements 👉 https://lnkd.in/ek7-vgCN

Not every injection moulding project starts with a blank canvas. Sometimes the component already exists, but something needs to change.

Perhaps the material needs reviewing. The geometry could be improved for manufacture. A recurring quality issue needs addressing. Or an established part needs updating for a new application.

UB Plastics can work with existing designs as well as completely new products, using CAD, DFM reviews, and Moldflow analysis to assess how a component can be improved before committing to tooling and production.

That could mean refining wall thickness, changing part geometry, reviewing material selection, or making the design better suited to reliable repeat manufacture.

If you have an existing plastic component that could work better, send our expert team your drawings and requirements to start the conversation 👉 https://lnkd.in/ex53BH2t

A small component with several jobs to do.

UB Plastics’ tamper-evident keg caps provide a clear visual indication if a container has been opened, while also giving breweries an opportunity to carry branding, product identification, or other information directly on the closure.

Manufactured in Burton upon Trent, the caps are designed for common keg spear types and can be applied either by hand or through automated filling lines.

They can also be customised with colour and up to five-colour in-mould labelling, combining security, identification, and branding in a single moulded component.

Manufacturing in Burton-upon-Trent has been part of UB Plastics since 1983.

Over four decades later, our factory continues to produce more than 100 million injection moulded components each year, supported by modern machinery, automation, and an experienced manufacturing team.

From brewery closures and food packaging to construction, fenestration and bespoke components, our manufacturing capability supports customers across a wide range of UK industries.

National Manufacturing Day is a good opportunity to highlight the breadth of work that happens behind the scenes in businesses like ours, from product design and tooling through to moulding, quality, automation, packing, and logistics.

It’s also about the people behind those processes, and the skills needed to keep UK manufacturing moving forward.

We are proud to continue manufacturing here in Burton-upon-Trent and to play our part in the wider UK manufacturing sector.

When does a standard plastic component become a compromise?

When the dimensions are nearly right.
When the fit requires an extra assembly step.
When the material does not quite suit the application.
Or when you are adapting your product around the component, rather than the other way around.

…that is where a custom injection moulding can make sense.

UB Plastics works with OEMs, technical buyers and manufacturers to develop components around a specific product or application, from inserts and end caps to brackets, sealing parts and protective components.

We can work from an existing drawing or get involved earlier, providing input on part geometry, materials and tooling before moving into repeat production at our Burton-upon-Trent facility.

If the standard part is not quite doing the job, it may be time to design one that does.

A component leaving the mould is not the end of the manufacturing process.

For high-volume injection moulding, consistency needs to continue through inspection, identification, packing and dispatch.

At UB Plastics, our ISO 9001:2015 quality management system covers the complete process:
Tooling & setup ➡️ First-off inspection ➡️ Production ➡️ In-process checks ➡️ Traceability ➡️ Packaging & dispatch

This structured approach is particularly important when producing repeat orders at scale, where customers need the next batch to meet the same requirements as the last.

From our Burton-upon-Trent facility, we combine high-volume moulding capability with documented quality processes designed to maintain consistency throughout production and supply.

Running short of one plastic component can disrupt an entire production schedule.

For customers placing repeat or high-volume orders, UB Plastics can combine UK injection moulding with flexible stockholding and planned deliveries. This helps maintain continuity of supply without requiring customers to receive every component as soon as it is manufactured.

📦 Agreed stock levels can be held for repeat orders
📅 Scheduled deliveries can be aligned with production requirements
🔄 Kanban-style replenishment can help reduce unnecessary inventory
🏭 Split deliveries and multi-site fulfilment can be arranged where required
🔎 Part identification, batch tracking, and barcode labelling support traceability

From manufacturing and final inspection through to packing, storage, and delivery, each stage can be managed from our Burton-upon-Trent facility.

What causes many injection moulding problems?

Often, it is not the moulding machine. It is a design decision made before the tool reaches production.

Uneven wall thicknesses, unsuitable draft angles, poor material flow and shrinkage can all affect the quality, consistency and cost of the finished component.

This is why UB Plastics supports customers during the product design stage, reviewing how a component will be tooled, filled, cooled and ejected before manufacturing begins.

Using DFM reviews, CAD modelling and Moldflow analysis, our team can identify potential problems earlier and refine the design before tooling investment is committed.

The earlier we are involved, the more opportunity there is to reduce production risks, avoid unnecessary tool modifications and develop a component that is ready for reliable, repeatable manufacture.

Small components can have a significant effect on the performance and appearance of a finished window or door system.

End caps, inserts and protective mouldings must fit accurately, remain consistent across large production runs and integrate cleanly with the surrounding assembly.

UB Plastics manufactures precision injection moulded components for windows, doors and glazing systems at our Burton-upon-Trent facility. We work with fenestration manufacturers to produce both established components and bespoke parts developed for specific product ranges.

With in-house product design support, modern injection moulding equipment and flexible packaging and delivery options, we can manage each project from the initial component concept through to repeat production.
