The characteristics of injection molding toys：

● The limitations of the original design are low and can be complex or simple.

● PVC injection craft allows producers to split the molds according to the color and structure of the original design, so that the details of each part can be clearly presented.

● The internal structure of PVC injection molded toys is solid, which makes the overall weight of the toy heavier than that of many materials.

● PVC plastic is a commonly used raw material for injection molding toysin designer toy field, and according to the design needed, the producer will also combine with ABS injection craftand even vinyl carft.

● The production of injection molding toys requires the use of large injection molding machines, and the production of molds is usually made of steel. Most enterprises have introduced fully automated equipment, which brings higher production efficiency. For large production orders, it can greatly shorten the production time and reduce the production cost.

PVC injection molding toys also have unavoidable disadvantages. First of all, the production cost of steel molds is relatively expensive. In addition, there may be split lines and splaymark on the surface of PVC injection molding toys. But split line can be smoothed by polishing and experienced operators can adjust temperature, hardness to avoid the spraymark as much as possible.

The following is the mainly production process of PVC injection molding toys:

● Design: First of all, the designer will design according to the design requirements of the toy, including graphic design and 3d model, color matching.

● Mold making: Making the steel molds for injection, and setting up the molds in the large injection molding machines.

● Mass Production: In the process of injection molding, plastic raw materials will enter the mold through the nozzle of the injection molding machine, and cool and cure into parts in the mold. After the parts are trimmed and inspected, they are painted, assembled, and finally packaged according to the customer's needs to become the final product.

In recent years, "designer toys" have become a popular trend among young people, captivating them and enticing them to spend money on them. Do you really know whay are they?

The common types of designer toys are rich and diverse, and there are mainly the following types according to the material: vinyl toys, injection molded toys and resin toys. Here will give you a detailed introduction to the characteristics of vinyl toys, so that you can have an in-depth understanding of this type of toy. 

Vinyl toys, as the name suggests, are toys made of vinyl as the main material. The surface of this toy is smooth, without any complex craft lines, showing a simple and delicate beauty. At the same time, the structure of the vinyl toy is hollow, which makes the overall weight of the whole toy relatively light, and there will be no much feeling of weight in the hand.

In terms of shape design, the vinyl toy is relatively simple with few complex details. This simplified design style allows people to pay more attention to the overall shape and color matching of the toy when appreciating the toy. In addition, the raw material of vinyl toys is mainly PVC, which has strong stability and makes the toys have high durability.

Regarding the disadvantages of the vinyl process, because the splitting process of the vinyl toy is simple, it limits the structural design of the toy, making some complex and fine parts unable to be produced. At the same time, since the vinyl toy is hollow, they are easy to deformation because of the great temperature difference,  which will affect its beauty and service life.

On the other hand, vinyl toy didn’t have great weather resistance, with improper preservation it will be prone to fading, falling off and other problems. In addition, due to the need for high temperature firing in the production process of vinyl toys, if the process is not in place, the surface of the toy may appear bubbles, surface is not smooth and other phenomena, which is a common quality problem in the production of vinyl toys. This requires that the factory must be equipped with experienced process masters to avoid quality costs to the greatest extent.

In addition, the production mold of vinyl toys is mainly copper mold. In the production process of copper molds, seed mold and bulk molds are the main classification. Seed Molds are mainly used for the production of small batch samples, while bulk molds are used for mass production. The process of making vinyl toys can be roughly divided into the following steps:

● Design stage: Designers design characteristic graphic and 3d model according to market demand and creative inspiration.

● Mold opening stage: make seed mold and bulk molds for trial production.

● Production process: Start the mass production for the order including vinyl crafting, painting, assembling and packaging.
