Tool Transfer Process Guide — Shirley K’s
Moving an existing thermoforming tool to a new manufacturer? Here’s what tool transfer involves and what Shirley K’s needs to pick up your production.
WHAT IS TOOL TRANSFER
Tool transfer means moving an existing thermoforming mold to a new manufacturer so production can continue without building a brand-new tool — saving the cost and lead time of new tooling.
WHAT TO SEND
- The existing tool, or details and photos of it
- Part drawings or a sample part
- Material, gauge, and annual volume requirements
NO TOOL OR DRAWING?
Shirley K’s can reverse engineer from an existing part through our partner engineering and tool shop, then move it into production.
