It’s just a no-brainer when it comes to understanding and calculating shipping costs. If it weighs more, you pay more. If it weighs less, you stress less. Plastic does have MANY advantages - and one biggie is that plastic is practically weightless; therefore, shipping costs are much less when compared to heavier materials that are used to make similar fasteners. If you can buy a product that precisely meets a need AND it can be delivered at a much lower cost, it’s a win-win for everyone! If you’re looking for ways to increase profits, look no further. Here’s why Volt Industrial Plastics can save you money day in, day out:
Plastic fasteners significantly reduce the weight, cost, assembling complexities and shipping costs of materials needed for your projects. Because these versatile polymers are lightweight, non-magnetic, non-corrosive, non-toxic, non-flammable, non-abrasive, non-conducting, and heat-resistant properties, they are invaluable for applications where high tensile holding strength is not the primary requirement. The customer always comes first! This is why VOLT Industrial Plastics makes shipping in a timely manner a top priority! Getting orders processed in a speedy fashion not only makes the customer happy, but it is satisfying and rewarding on our end.
CUSTOMIZE to the SKY
At VIP, our skilled craftsmen can efficiently produce custom fastener shapes in a wide range of materials to achieve specific ductility or hardness. Plus, highly unique materials have added an entirely new dimension to creating and designing plastic components. Now, plastics glow, exhibit rich color, and feel soft. Speaking of color, we have the capability of molding over 120 different materials and are able to color match for specific applications.
Did you know that many times you can consolidate multiple metal parts into a single plastic part? This is just one of many ways plastic has the upper hand, especially when compared to metal. Plastic-to-metal conversion can result in savings of 25-50%. This is due to several factors, two of which include:
The ability to replace multiple metal parts with one plastic part
The subsequent elimination of fastener and assembly needs
When it comes to strength, consider the large plastic sliding compartment doors in shipping containers. They can provide the same sturdiness and rigidity as metal, yet they weigh much less, making them considerably easier to move. Also, when compared to metal and other types of material used in other fasteners, plastic is still very strong, easier to bend and less expensive.
Over the years VOLT has worked hard to pass the savings on to our customers. With a warehouse of over 100 million plastic fasteners, we probably have what you need already in stock! This huge inventory allows us to sell fasteners at a reduced rate - especially when purchased in bulk. Plus, with all of our products being practically weightless, your shipping costs are significantly less when compared to heavier materials.
We have the ability to save you money each and every day. You also won’t have to compromise in strength, durability and endless design options that are temperature resistant and UV resistant.
