Small Run Production Company

[vabassen02]

Ok guys, I have used the search engine and can not find anything on this , I have heard there is a company in KY that can produce small runs. You have to buy the whole run , which I understand . We have poured a color that we like but we can't produce it in numbers like the bigger computer guided machines . We just small fish.....LOL. Does anybody know of this gentlemen or anybody else that does this type of work.

 

Thanks,

vabassen02, I know the person you're talking about in KY.  He's an older gentleman and one reason that you can't find any information on him is I don't think he's taking on any new customers.  No matter what injector you go with, you will be required to purchase a production mold.  There's 3 companies I can recommend to you now, who are experienced in these types of molds.  But the cost of these molds are still significant and based on the type of bait, the number of cavities that will fit in a mold and whether you want the mold to do solid colors or laminates or two colors (body one color, tail another color).  Yes we do smaller minimums than the other injectors, that's one way we've found our niche in this market.  The minimums will be based also on the size of the baits.  If it's a normal size bass bait, worm, swim baits, creature baits and things of that nature, we usually require at least a 2000 piece per color minimum.  Much larger baits we require a 1000 piece per color minimum.  This is mainly because of machine setup time and color changes.  But this can also vary according to color.  You can PM me here on TU for details or you go to my profile and then go to our website and our phone # is listed on the website.  I can give you more details and moldmaker's names.  Hope this helps you out some.
