ENGINEERING & MANUFACTURING
Finishing that completes
Finishing that completes
the plastic part.
Trimming and dual-colour tampo printing, with deburring, polishing and painting in the wider published finishing scope. Define the visual standard, functional surfaces and decoration requirements alongside the molded-part drawing.
SERVICE CAPABILITIES
What we can support.
| Capability | Scope & engineering considerations |
|---|---|
| Trimming & deburring | Remove agreed excess material and define acceptable gate vestige, edge condition and handling marks. The published production scope includes deburring. Service details ↗ |
| Dual-colour pad printing | Tampo printing transfers artwork from an etched plate through a silicone pad to the component. GIH’s confirmed offering includes dual-colour printing. Printing process ↗ |
| Curved & irregular surfaces | Pad printing can address suitable non-flat surfaces. Print size, pad access, artwork distortion, registration and the substrate/ink pairing require review. Service details ↗ |
| Polishing & painting | Included in the published finishing portfolio. Agree the surface preparation, visual sample, colour, gloss and protected areas for the specific component. Service details ↗ |
| Inspection & acceptance | Agree the visible surfaces, inspection conditions, permitted defects and any adhesion or durability test before production. Test scope is project-specific. |
TECHNOLOGY & ENGINEERING
Artwork, fixture and substrate must work together.
Pad, plate, ink and component positioning determine the printing route. Multi-colour work requires control of registration and the sequence between colours; durability depends on the substrate and ink. Tampo-printing considerations ↗

PROJECT HANDOVERS
Define the output at each stage.
- 01
Define the finish
Provide approved artwork, colour references, cosmetic zones and handling restrictions.
- 02
Review the setup
Agree pad access, component positioning and the preparation of the surface.
- 03
Approve samples
Compare representative samples with the agreed visual and functional requirements.
- 04
Release the process
Confirm inspection, handling and protective packaging for finished components.
SCOPE YOUR PROJECT
What to include in your brief.
- Part drawing and material; identification of cosmetic and functional surfaces.
- Artwork files, colour references, print position and dimensional/registration requirements.
- Approved appearance sample or agreed visual acceptance criteria.
- Quantity, durability expectations, packaging and any joining operations.
Quotation target: 1 week from a complete technical brief. Production, tooling and qualification schedules are scoped separately.
