Custom Plastic Buckles & Hardware
From Concept to Production
ACW works with OEMs to develop custom plastic buckles, cord locks, ladderlocks, adjusters, clips, hooks, and other plastic hardware designed specifically for their products and applications.
Start with an idea, an existing part, a sample, or a completed design. ACW can take your project through product engineering, prototyping, tooling, testing, validation, and production in the USA or overseas.
Custom Hardware Built Around Your Application
Off-the-shelf hardware doesn’t work for every application.
Your product may require a specific break strength, locking mechanism, geometry, color, flexibility, webbing or cord interface, branding, or other performance requirement. ACW helps develop custom plastic hardware around those requirements.
We can develop entirely new products or modify existing concepts to create a solution specific to your application.
Custom products can include:
- Side Release Buckles
- Ladderlocks & Adjusters
- Cord Locks & Cord Attachments
- Hooks, Clips & Retainers
- Loops, Slides & Rings
- Multi-Component Hardware
- Custom Locking Systems
- Strap & Webbing Hardware
- Custom Branded Hardware
- Other Molded Plastic Components
Start Wherever You Are
Have a Concept?
Tell us what you’re trying to accomplish. We can help develop the concept into an engineered, manufacturable product.
Have an Existing Part?
Start with an existing component and develop your own version with modifications to geometry, performance, appearance, branding, or functionality.
Have a Design?
Provide your drawings, CAD files, specifications, and performance requirements and we’ll help take the product through tooling and production.
Need a Complete Solution?
We can develop the plastic hardware together with the webbing, cord, or sewn strap assembly it needs to work with.
Product Engineering & Development More Than Building a Mold
A successful custom buckle or piece of plastic hardware starts well before tooling.
ACW provides product development and engineering support to help turn an application requirement into a production-ready component. We work through the geometry, materials
