Custom Plastic Manufacturing and How It Can Help Your Business

Did you know that plastic fabrication on the Sunshine Coast is being used to solve business challenges every day? Whilst plastic manufacturing plays a crucial role in major industries, such as the automotive and aerospace industries, it is also being used by smaller organisations to create stronger, long-lasting products.

Custom plastic manufacturing is a specialist industry, requiring skilled technicians and high-tech tools. Their services can be used to produce anything from custom business signage to tiny laser cut components.



Plastic Fabrication Sunshine Coast


Plastic fabrication on the Sunshine Coast has been growing over recent years, as businesses search for quicker, cheaper results. Plastic is incredibly strong and durable and is replacing some traditional materials, such as metal (automotive industry) and concrete (construction industry).

Plastic is far easier to shape and mould, and can be welded, drilled and heat-treated. It is also resistant to termites, corrosion and weather. In a seaside area such as the Sunshine Coast, plastic is often a far better choice than metal. 

Custom plastic manufacturing includes business signage, display systems, pool safety signs, marine products and more. However, your choice of material depends on the proposed use, so always seek advice.

Custom Plastic Manufacturing


For example, for a long-lasting and durable business sign, you might consider using acrylic. However, for temporary signage you’d probably be looking at corrugated plastic, usually referred to as corflute. Light and easy to move, these are ideal in industries such as real estate.

Plastic fabrication is taking many new directions in 2019, with more sustainable plastics being developed using plants and even carbon dioxide. As innovative new technology arrives on the Coast, this type of solution will become more accessible and more affordable.

If you’re looking for new business signage, or you need a specially designed component to manufacture your product, it’s time to have a chat with a leading plastic fabricator, such as Sunquest Industries.
