Product design services
Conceptually our range of products and services amount to a design service for brand owners and moulders of plastic parts.
Ideas in colour and special effect are not necessarily fixed items sitting on a shelf waiting to be bought. If a customer has a concept or inspiration in mind the PMB team can bring these ideas to life (within technical limitations) either electronically or in plastic.
These services will fall into one of the eleven areas listed in the panel alongside. There are many variables to be considered some of which are listed below. We will work with you on your specific brief and will supply your moulding operations with consistent masterbatch so that your product looks as you intended, time-after-time.
