Custom Rubber Parts

Captain O-Ring LLC is capable of producing virtually any molded rubber part. While many companies upcharge for mold fees, Captain O-Ring has always produced molds at cost to ensure our customers the absolute best value. Captain O-Ring LLC offers low minimums on incredibly economical custom rubber parts molding.
Custom Rubber Parts
For simple parts, a basic hand drawing with labeled dimensions can be converted by Captain O-Ring into a technical drawing in which a mold can be produced. We can also accept CAD drawings in all major file formats.

Custom Rubber Parts Order Lead Time

For most custom rubber parts runs, the lead time is 36-40 calendar days.  In this time we will create a mold, procure and mix the compound, and produce the parts.  The lead time for reorders is much shorter, as the mold will already be on hand.

Custom Rubber Parts Minimum Order Quantities

Because of the nature of custom parts manufacturing, it is impossible to give an MOQ estimate without a part drawing and material choice.  Please inquire with us about the minimum order quantity of your part.
