Part of TCI Group · One brief. One team. One point of contact.
Silicone and polyurethane mould making is the heart of what we do. When a job needs more than a mould — packaging for the finished product, artwork for the moulded logo, an electrical fitting, a machined insert, a photography set for launch — we design it, we source it, and we project-manage it, so the whole job comes back to one person on your side.
What one-stop-shop actually means here
We are, first, a mould maker. Design, tool making, first casts, production runs, and reordering all happen in the same workshop in Bidford-on-Avon. That is the part we own end to end.
For anything larger than we can carry alone — a very high-cavity tool, a mould family across sizes, a run that outstrips a normal week — we bring in vetted UK partners under our own project management. You still deal with us. We still stand behind the work.
For the things that sit around the mould — the packaging, the printed insert, the metal component, the branded film, the website that sells the finished thing — we source and manage those the same way. The point is that you do not need to hold five suppliers together yourself.
How the work is organised
What we make ourselves, what we run with partners, and how we keep it one conversation.
Mould design, master patterns, mould-making, first casts, small and mid production runs, food-grade documentation and reordering all happen in our own workshop in Bidford-on-Avon. This is the work we control end to end, in Warwickshire.
For very high-cavity tools, part families across sizes, whole-elevation programmes, or a production run that outpaces a normal week, we bring in vetted UK partners under our own project management. You brief us. We brief them. You still receive one finished thing from one team.
From the first call to the final delivery, the same person on our side owns the job. Programme, drawings, first casts, sign-off, packaging, dispatch. If something changes, we tell you. If something needs a decision, we ask.
Everything around the mould or the part
These are the categories we most often source and project-manage alongside the manufacturing. Ask us about anything you do not see here — most one-stop-shop briefs turn out to be a variation on these.
Retail cartons, printed sleeves, blisters, food-safe pouches, shelf-ready trays and shipping outers. Structural design, print-ready artwork and production, sourced through UK converters we already work with.
Logos, wordmarks, print artwork, moulded-logo artwork prep, product labels and full visual identity. Designed so it reads at the size it will actually be seen — including on the moulded part itself.
Product sites, brand sites, ecommerce, landing pages for launches, and search optimisation to bring buyers in. Built to the same standard as this one, and handed over so you can run it after.
PCB layout and manufacture, wiring looms, small enclosures with electronics inside, connectors and terminals. Useful when a moulded product needs power, sensing or a small board inside it.
Rigid plastic parts to sit alongside silicone or rubber components — housings, clips, trays, packaging inserts. Prototype-through-production, sourced through vetted UK moulders and print bureaux.
Aluminium and steel parts, CNC machining, sheet metal, brackets and jigs. Frequently used as inserts inside a mould, as fixings for a precast panel, or as the mating part in an overmoulded product.
Product photography, packaging shots, workshop and process film, launch video and social edits. Shot with the actual finished parts, so the imagery you use to sell is honest.
Sub-assembly, kitting, pack-out and dispatch either back to you or on to your end customer. Useful when the delivery you actually need is a finished, boxed, ready-to-ship product rather than a pallet of parts.
How a one-stop-shop brief runs
Every whole-job brief is different, but the shape of the programme is not.
Not just the mould or the part. Tell us what the finished thing needs to be, who receives it, and what it has to sit alongside. If you already know some of the ancillary parts you'll need, tell us those too.
A written programme covering the manufacturing, the partners we'll bring in for anything larger, and the ancillary work we'll source. Costs, timings and who owns each piece. You approve it before anything starts.
We build the mould or the part in our own workshop, brief the partners for anything outsourced, and manage the ancillary suppliers. You get regular updates from one person, not a chain of five.
You receive the finished thing — mould, first parts, packaging, printed artwork, whatever the brief needed — as one delivery. Reorders, spares and follow-on runs come back to the same team.
