I need a product made similiar to the plastic folder holder that you would see or buy at staples. Anyone know of a source that deals with this kind of product?
Thanks

Let me know if you still need someone to manufacture this for you. We offer local and offshore (China) Manufacturing services. We do lots of plastic injection molding which is what it sounds like you are looking for.

P/W, I take it you mean the "made in China" part? It's definitely easy to get junk if youre not careful. But since 90% of the stuff you buy these days (expensive & inexpensive) is made in China, it can definitely be done. You just have to be working with the right people and have the right controls in place. You sure cant beat the price.

I can't help with acrylic but I've done quite a bit of work with latex.

Looks like you build a real high quality unit. Do you do all customs or do you have a standard product line? I'd like to put one of these units in my house some day. Once I get to that point I will give you a call.

We build large aquariums for public aquariums, casinos, and elite residences.
We are working on a new website www.acrylicaquariumtanks.com to branch out into more of the mid level residential market. These are for tanks that you can't buy at a petstore, but something affordable for someone wanting a custom tank for their house.

I do rapid prototyping so I can make just about damn near anything, but I'm not quite sure what your looking for.
If it's acrylic in nature though there's a shop right up the street from me that does kick ass work for reasonable prices. I can get you their name and # if you like.

Hey guys,
I make replacement seat foams for Quads and MX bikes and I have been thinking of having the seat bases molded, to give SDG some competition.
These would be pretty big molds and they would have to be reverse enginierd (?) from the originals. I dont know alot about the plastics industry, but I had some molds quoted for some side panels for a vintage mx bike and was floored at the price. Maybe China would be the way to go?

If you need something copied...China is definately the way to go. It's likely that you can buy 20 copies of Brokeback for like a dollar on the street.
