Home furniture
Stacking stools and chairs, step stools, side tables, shoe benches, kids' seats.
The resin itself
Four resins. Pick the one your product needs.
Most buyers arrive knowing the shape and the price point but not the polymer. This is the short version — our engineers confirm the grade, the wall thickness and the flow before the mould is cut.

The range
Twelve housewares off our existing moulds
Every item here ships from tooling we already own, so you skip the mould cost and the eight-week lead time. Colour, decoration and packaging are still yours to specify.

Modula drawer tower
Three deep drawers on a moulded frame, optional castors. Ships flat-packed at 4 units per carton.

Nothing in that family yet — tell us what you need and we will quote a mould.
How a piece is made
From resin pellet to sealed carton
Eight steps, all under one roof in Tuas. Nothing is subcontracted except the steel roughing on very large moulds.
- 01
Resin drying
Pellets and masterbatch are dried and dosed by a central conveying system — no hand-scooped hoppers.
- 02
Colour matching
Masterbatch is metered to a Pantone or RAL target and signed off against a physical plaque before the run.
- 03
Injection moulding
88 T to 1,600 T presses, 1–8 cavities, cycle times from 14 s. Every shot is pressure-profiled.
- 04
Cooling & ejection
Conformal cooling on the high-runners keeps warp inside 0.3 % so lids still seat after six months in a warehouse.
- 05
Trim & assembly
Gate trimming, gasket insertion, hinge pinning, castor and handle fitting on a moving line.
- 06
Decoration
In-mould labelling, heat transfer, pad print or embossed logo direct in the steel.
- 07
Inspection
AQL 2.5 sampling on dimensions, load, seal and colour, plus a 100 % visual pass on clear parts.
- 08
Nesting & packing
Parts are nested to cut air out of the carton — typically 20–30 % more units per container than a flat pack.
The plant
A moulding floor built for houseware, not for parts
Houseware means big, thin, hollow shapes on short cycles. The plant is laid out for exactly that — long clamp strokes, wide platens, robot take-out and a nesting line that feeds the carton directly.
- 68 injection machines, 88 T to 1,600 T, all robot-served
- In-house mould shop: 12 CNC stations, EDM, T1 samples in 25–35 days
- Central resin conveying, 5,200 t of PP / PE / PCR a year, shipped in from Jurong Island
- Assembly and decoration lines beside the presses — no inter-plant trucking
- 18,000 m² across a four-storey ramp-up facility, with a 4,000 m² finished-goods warehouse
- Own loading bay: 30–45 containers a month, 20 minutes from Tuas Port

OEM & ODM
Bring a sketch, a competitor's sample, or nothing at all
Around 60 % of what leaves the plant is made to a customer's own design. The other 40 % starts as a conversation about a gap on a shelf.
Mould development
3D modelling, mould-flow simulation, DFM report, then P20 or 718H steel cut in our own shop. T1 samples in 25–35 days; the mould is yours and stays documented under your part number.
Colour & finish
Pantone and RAL matching, translucent or solid, matte or high-gloss, soft-touch overmould, leather and linen textures etched into the cavity.
Decoration & branding
In-mould labelling for photographic wraps, heat transfer for gradients, pad print for small marks, or your logo embossed straight into the steel at no per-piece cost.
Packaging & private label
Header cards, sleeves, shrink bundles, printed colour cartons, barcode and country-of-origin labelling, retail-ready display pallets. We hold your artwork files.
Have a drawing or a sample on your desk?
Send it over. You get a DFM read, a mould quote and a piece price — usually within two working days.
Quality
Housewares fail in six predictable ways. We test all six.
Lids stop sealing, hinges snap, handles tear out, colours fade, legs splay, bins crack in the cold. Each has a test on our floor and a report in your file.
Drop test
Loaded to rated capacity, dropped five times from 1.2 m onto concrete, corners and base.
Static load
Stools and stacked boxes held at 150 kg for 24 h; permanent deflection under 2 mm.
Hinge cycling
Living hinges and clip lids opened and closed 20,000 times on a rig, then re-checked for seal.
Seal & leak
Food keepers inverted full of dyed water for 12 h, and vacuum-checked for lid gasket contact.
Dishwasher & cold
300 dishwasher cycles at 70 °C, plus 48 h at −20 °C followed by a drop, for warp and embrittlement.
Migration & colour
Overall migration to EU 10/2011, heavy metals, BPA screening, and 300 h of xenon-arc colour fastness.

FAQ
The eight questions every buyer asks
What is the minimum order?
2,000 pieces per item per colour on existing moulds, and 1,000 on large items such as drawer towers and stools. Mixed colours in one order are fine as long as each colour reaches 500 pieces — below that the purge waste costs more than the parts.
What does a new mould cost, and who owns it?
A single-cavity houseware mould runs roughly USD 3,500–28,000 depending on size, cavitation and slide count. You pay for it, so you own it: it stays in our shop under your part number, and you can call it back at any time. Mould cost is often rebated against the first two production orders.
Is the plastic food-safe?
All food-contact items are moulded in virgin food-grade PP with FDA 21 CFR and EU 10/2011 declarations, and are BPA free. Non-food items may use recycled PCR. We never mix the two resin streams — separate silos, separate conveying lines.
Can you use recycled material?
Yes — 30 % to 100 % post-consumer PP or PE, GRS-traceable with transaction certificates. It is limited to solid colours, since PCR carries a grey base tint that clear and pastel parts cannot hide. Expect a small mechanical property drop, which we compensate for with wall thickness.
How long is a production run?
25–35 days for a new mould to T1 samples, then 30–40 days for mass production after sample approval. Repeat orders on existing moulds ship in 20–25 days. Peak season (August to October) adds about a week.
Can I get samples first?
Existing items ship as free samples; you cover the courier. Custom items need the mould, so the sample is the T1 shot. We also send resin colour plaques and gasket swatches free so you can approve the look before steel is cut.
Do you handle retail packaging?
Yes — header cards, sleeves, shrink bundles, printed colour cartons, barcodes, country-of-origin labels and retail-ready display pallets. Send artwork as vector files with 3 mm bleed; we return a printed proof before the run.
What are the shipping terms?
FOB Singapore by default, loaded at PSA Tuas Port; EXW, CIF and DDP on request. Housewares are bulky, so nesting matters more than weight — we quote loading plans in cartons per 40 HQ, and normally fit 20–30 % more than a flat-packed equivalent.
