Straps and bands
Skin-contact silicone with moulded branding and clean edges. See straps and bands.
For wearable technology teams
For wearable tech.
Wearables live on skin, in sweat and rain, and in the hands of people who notice every edge. The silicone parts decide how the product feels long after the unboxing.
What wearable teams need
Parts that feel premium and survive daily life.
Wearable programmes tend to share a pattern. A fast-moving hardware team, a design that changes late, a launch date that won't move, and silicone parts that have to feel just as good as the rest of the product.
We help by sampling feel and finish early, prototyping cheaply while the design is still moving, then locking grade, colour and process once it settles. Straps, sensor backs, buttons and seals come from the same team with the same colour references.
Because wearables often combine rigid and soft parts, overmoulding and two-shot come up in most conversations. We'll tell you which one your volumes justify.
What matters most
Three things wearable teams tell us.
Feel is part of the brand
Texture, softness and edge quality are chosen by hand from real samples, not specified on a drawing and hoped for.
Colours must match across parts
The strap, the button and the sensor back have to sit together. One colour reference drives all of them.
Launches don't wait
Prototype and bridge tooling keep you supplied while production tools are finished.
What we make for wearables
Four common parts.
Sensor housings and backs
Soft interfaces that hold sensors comfortably against skin.
Buttons and controls
Sealed, tuned buttons. See tactile domes.
Seals and gaskets
Small seals keeping sweat and water out of electronics.
How we'd deliver
The services this sector uses most.
Wearable and consumer silicone
Silicone parts for products people wear, hold, or wipe every day — ear tips, straps, grips, sleeves, applicators. Made to a colour and feel you sign…
See the serviceWearable overmoulding
Wearables have to be tough, sealed and comfortable against skin all day. Overmoulding silicone onto a rigid frame gives you all three in one part.

Other sectors
Where else we work.
Designed and developed in the UK. UK moulding capability, with some higher-volume production placed with trusted partners where that's the right commercial answer.

Tell us the part, the volume, and the timeline.
Rough annual volume, target unit price, and any deadlines. That's enough to work out whether compression, LSR injection or something else is the right tool.
