Sourcing Process
A clear sourcing process reduces back-and-forth, avoids wrong material assumptions, and helps customers get more useful gasket quotations.
Step 1: Application Review
We first confirm where the gasket will be used: outdoor electrical enclosure, control cabinet, junction box, EV charger cabinet, solar inverter enclosure, LED lighting housing, or another equipment assembly.
Step 2: Drawing and Parameter Check
| Drawing | 2D drawing, 3D file, profile drawing, sample photo, or gasket path sketch. |
|---|---|
| Material | EPDM, silicone, NBR, CR, EVA, PU foam, or open material recommendation. |
| Dimensions | Thickness, width, profile size, tolerance, length, and compression gap. |
| Assembly | Adhesive backing, screw compression, groove installation, edge trim, or custom fixture. |
| Documents | RoHS, REACH, UL94 material information, TDS, SDS, or other buyer requirements. |
Step 3: Material and Process Matching
We compare whether the project is better suited for die cutting, compression molding, rubber extrusion, adhesive lamination, or custom sampling. The goal is to match the project to the right production route before asking for price.
Step 4: Supplier Coordination and Quotation
We organize the quote request, coordinate supplier questions, collect sample photos or videos where available, and help clarify mold cost, lead time, MOQ, packaging, and document support.
Step 5: Sampling and Production Follow-up
For suitable projects, we coordinate sample preparation, sample labels, packaging information, and production follow-up details so the customer can review the part before bulk order decisions.
