    If one of our catalog parts doesn’t meet your exact requirements, we offer custom masking capabilities. Our engineers will work with you to develop a part to meet your unique specifications, helping improve your productivity and consistency while reducing labor costs and device failures. Leveraging one of our six manufacturing processes – injection molding, vinyl dip molding, extrusion, vinyl coating, rubber molding or die-cutting – our design engineers work to take your concept from design and prototyping all the way to final production. We also hold IATF 16949, ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications that guide our quality management systems and manufacturing processes.

    We specialize in custom rubber masking as well, which provides parts that can offer greater durability or that can be reused, helping provide additional time and cost-saving benefits. Caplugs also offers custom material compounding options for rubber products, allowing us to provide enhanced protection against acids, UV rays or other environmental hazards.

    • Easy to install. Squeeze the mask and insert into the bore. Align to either side, and you’re ready to paint. Will not leave residue when removed.
    • Over 100 existing diameter and length sizes are available. We can customize to your bore size and length or we can custom kit various sizes for your entire unit, giving you a fixed known cost per unit and better inventory control.
    • Low cost allows for one-time use, eliminating the need to clean parts, saving time and labor.
    • Alternative pull plugs can leave paint residue on the edge of the bore hole when removed, requiring cleaning after the paint has cured, increasing unnecessary costs and additional labor.
