Keeping athletes, coaches, trainers, and assistants prepared and protected with proper equipment is the priority for sporting goods manufacturers across the country. No matter your role on the team, you have to rely on plastic components the same way you rely on a great game plan.
GAIM Plastics details how to find the best plastic sporting goods manufacturer for your needs.
Expansive Production Capabilities
It’s not enough to just produce high-quality sporting goods equipment; the right manufacturer will offer expansive production capabilities. This can include multiple machines to allow for numerous projects to be run at the same time, or a large run order to be produced faster.
A plastic sporting goods manufacturer should be able to offer tooling services and any other secondary services. On-site tooling saves both time and money. Secondary services, such as sonic welding, thermal staking, and milling operations, further enhance products as necessary.
Comprehensive Product Development
There are key benefits to a manufacturer having a comprehensive product development team. Manufacturers and customers can work together to understand the nuances and intricacies of a product design to best select materials that are appropriate for the product’s application.
Product development can include creating a prototype to review strong points and deficiencies that can be resolved before the production run begins.
Market-Ready Services
Whether you’re an established retailer, wholesaler, or trying to break into a tough market, GAIM Plastics has proven market-ready services that can make your sporting goods stand out from the competition. While not every manufacturer offers this service, we take pride in providing services that ensure your product doesn’t just sit, but sells.
Part of our market-ready services includes strategic packaging and shipping options to ensure your products arrive safely and damage-free. This is achieved by working with us on a consultation plan to understand where your order needs to be and when, or connecting you with one of our preferred vendors.
Retail readiness is critical for your product to move off the shelves, and we have experience selling products into big box stores.
E-Commerce is always expanding, creating new sales opportunities. GAIM Plastics has a preferred Amazon seller who specializes in taking quality products and turning them into volume sales on one of the world’s biggest digital storefronts.
