Custom Moulds
Helping you to bring your idea to life.
The higher the quality of the mould, the higher the quality of your final product. Sustainable Design Studio uses industrial quality machinery to produce some of the highest quality moulds available, at competitive prices compared to other market leaders.
From a napkin sketch to a finished product
A written brief, a sketch on a napkin, or a half-formed idea. Whatever you have, we can take it forward. Sustainable Design Studio supports clients through the entire design process for custom products made from recycled plastic. No matter what stage you are at, we can help with product design, mould design, production cost, and business optimisation.
From first call to finished mould
Five clear stages. No surprises. Costs and timelines are agreed at the end of step one.
Free introductory call
We arrange a free 30 minute call with one of our directors to understand your product and how we can turn it into reality. We agree the production process, dimensions, volume, plastic type, and source on the call.
Product design
Once the brief is confirmed, our design team converts your product into a digital mock-up. This unlocks 3D printed prototypes and physical mock-ups delivered to your door.
Mould design
Once the product design is approved, we move to the mould design. Before this point we will have walked you through cavities per shot and which machine we recommend.
Mould fabrication
Using industrial CNC machinery, we carve your mold from aluminium (or other materials if specified). Every mould is finished to a high quality standard, ready for production.
Testing
Every mould is tested on our machines before shipping, ensuring it meets our performance expectations before arriving with you. We continue to support you with settings and process notes specific to your mould.
Between waste and product
Sustainable Design Studio works with the full range of recycled plastic feedstocks. Whatever waste source you have, beach plastics, household recycling, factory offcuts, or none of the above, we help you choose the right plastic for the product you want to make. Bring us the waste, the brief, or both.
Plus many more. See the full plastic material database.
Browse the ready-made range
A custom mould is not always the right fit. Sustainable Design Studio offers a wide range of standard injection moulds covering common products. There is a good chance we already have something that suits your needs.
Tell us what you want to make. We will figure out the rest.
Sustainable Design Studio has worked with businesses, charities, and individuals to turn weird and wonderful ideas into reality. Send a brief, a sketch, or just an idea, and our team will reply within two working days.
