DESIGN
ICP’S ABILITY TO SOLVE OUR CUSTOMERS’ CHALLENGES AND MEET EXACT SPECIFICATIONS WITH OUR WIDE RANGE OF DIE CUTTING MACHINES STARTS WITH A FOUNDATIONAL DESIGN. OUR DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS WILL ENSURE A PART IS AND COST EFFECTIVE. ADDITIONALLY, OUR ENGINEERS HAVE A LONG HISTORY OF MATERIALS SOURCING AND DIAGNOSTICS EXPERIENCE, AND ICP OFFERS KEY RECOMMENDATIONS TO MINIMIZE THE AMOUNT OF SCRAP AND COSTS FOR OUR CUSTOMERS.
Our team is here to provide custom solutions to our customers in the following areas:
- part results that offer long-term reliability
- part designs that can utilize the most cost-effective materials without compromising quality of the component
- parts that can maintain integrity in the face of specific challenges such as heat, dust, debris, sound, moisture, UV, chemical, and vibration exposure
- part additions that will combat exposure to those challenges when a component is too delicate to protect itself or must be made of a specific material that will need protection
- component designs that can be made with lowest cost materials that are the easiest to source while retaining a high standard of durability and function
- part designs that can be fabricated with die cutting, dieless knife cutting, and other methods that are not costly or overly complex
- designs that fit into the assembly unique to each customer
- recommendations for best packaging methods for fast and safe delivery
- components that can be easily integrated into an assembly without the need for rare or specialty tools, adhesives, or processes
- designs that take into account a preventive or predictive maintenance schedule
Overall, our design recommendations will determine the tailored fabrication process we implement for each customer. When our customers use ICP’s recommendations to create a part design, they are relying on over 65 years of experience in custom manufacturing.
We’ve worked with a wide range of diverse customers, from Fortune 500 companies to mom-and-pop shops, fabricating assemblies for many different industries. Clients can count on our knowledge, skilled team, materials research and market knowledge, production technologies, and continued communication from start to finish of any project to guarantee part results will be exactly what they need.
MATERIALS
ICP works with a broad variety of flexible and non-metallic materials for our precision die cutting. From high-temperature resistant materials plastics to foam, plastics, textiles, and adhesives, our state-of-the-art equipment handles almost all industrial materials that fit customer needs. Our experience with so many different resources helps us save clients’ money right out of the gate whenever a project is started. We can determine which materials will be the least expensive but most effective for any part and will optimize the yield based on the part to assist in minimizing scrap and keeping costs low.
Whenever we recommend a material during the design process, our engineers will fully investigate what a part function will be. What a component will be used for will guide our engineers in selecting the best material for the application.
ICP MATERIALS RECOMMENDATIONS ARE BASED ON THE FOLLOWING SPECIFICATIONS:
- FUNCTION OF THE PART
- ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- DURABILITY AND FLEXIBILITY REQUIREMENTS
- INSTALLATION METHOD
- LONGEVITY REQUIREMENTS
- PACKAGING METHODS
- PRODUCTION VOLUME REQUIREMENTS
- PRODUCTION SCHEDULE REQUIREMENTS
- CUSTOMER BUDGET
The answers to these questions will give our design team the information they need to determine the ideal material to fabricate a part that will fit customer needs. Not only can our engineers pinpoint exactly the right material to use for a specific application, ICP can also eliminate unnecessary costs for customers who may already be using overly expensive materials in their production process.

Choosing the best materials for a part design is critical for fabricating, packing, and installing any volume of components into the final assembly. ICP’s extensive experience and knowledge of the materials we work with are part of what makes many of our clients return customers.
TECHNOLOGY
With the right design files ready to go into our production system and best materials sourced for the manufacturing process, the ICP team can utilize our advanced die cutting technologies to fabricate final components. Our production floor technologies are a large part of why ICP has such a low Parts Per Million (PPM) rejection rate. Even with some of our largest volume clients, ICP’s PPM rejection rate is as low as 2 PPM per 2 million parts fabricated.
Our facilities house equipment for every part of our die cutting processes, from dieless knife cutting tables to secondary picking operations for slug removal. ICP’s precision die cutting procedures manufacture in various sizes, including complex multi-faceted parts. We die cut plastics up to 3/16” in thickness and as large as 52” x 82”. We also offer cost effective tooling with steel rule dies have the ability to use forged and match-metal tooling for more durable materials and tighter tolerances.
ICP’s engineers address potential issues that might arise with exposure to stresses with application. This includes heat mitigation issues, exposure to moisture, vibration or sound saturation, and more. With an effective design and the right material as a strong foundation, the fabrication process with our equipment is quick.
Thanks to our fabrication technologies, we are ISO registered up to the latest certifications, and we can perform PPAP, CPK, First Article inspections, and Gage R&R studies on all finished components. Our quality control inspection process ensures rapid, effective diagnostics that will get your products to the packaging stages of production on time.
SOME OF OUR EFFICIENT PRODUCTION FLOOR TECHNOLOGIES AND EQUIPMENT INCLUDE:
ATOM FLASH-CUT 30155 DIELESS KNIFE CUTTING TABLES
TRAVEL HEAD PRESSES

Our large assortment of die cut technologies is made up of efficient machines controlled with precision-based software programming. Utilizing the best equipment available makes our custom manufacturing service a quick, streamlined, and cost-effective solution for many kinds of customers.
PACKAGE
When our fabrication and finishing processes are complete, we move components to the packaging process. For on-time, safe delivery it’s critical that the packaging process considers each part type individually. Many different materials and component specifications require specialized approaches to packing. The volume of an order and the way parts will be integrated into an assembly will also often affect the way die cut components will be packaged.
Our packaging experts have generated unique packing systems for even the most delicate components in a range of industries including medical, electronic, agriculture, aerospace, filtration, energy, and more. To eliminate risk of damage in the delivery process and increase ease of assembly at our client facilities. We work with our customers to provide packaging solutions for each specific application.
ICP has a long track record of on-time-delivery for even the largest volume customers. We also offer services to send the first round of die cut products to customers for on-site inspection and testing. If there are ever issues with the packaging process, we catch those problems at this stage and adjust the packaging techniques or materials to prevent any damages from our facility to the customers’.
With our history working with many packaging methods, we can communicate with clients to make sure the packing systems are meeting their needs when the parts arrive at their location. This includes every package technique able to be incorporated into the packing system that will simplify a client’s assembly process such as part number identification, individual bagging, bulk-in-box, and partial/full skid packing.
