Plastic Moulding Inserts
Plastic Moulding Inserts are metal inserts designed to be embedded into plastic components during injection moulding. They provide a durable threaded or fastening point inside the plastic part, allowing screws, bolts or other fasteners to be repeatedly assembled without relying on plastic threads alone. Knurled and grooved outer surfaces help mechanically lock the insert into the surrounding plastic and improve resistance to rotation and pull-out.
