# Custom Sealing Solutions & Flexible Material Fabrication for OEMs
## Components Designed to Protect, Seal, and Perform
We work with OEMs to develop and manufacture **custom sealing solutions, gaskets, cushioning, insulation and other flexible material components.** Our cost-effective solutions include:
- Material selection and engineering support
- Die cutting, dieless knife cutting and laminating capabilities
- Production of gaskets, seals, pads, spacers, and other cushioning components
- Adhesive-backed components
- ISO 9001:2015-certified, U.S.-based manufacturing
- Over 70 years of manufacturing experience
Die cutting offers an efficient, repeatable way to manufacture custom components from flexible materials. ICP works with OEMs across industries to produce parts based on customer drawings, specifications and application requirements.
Custom die-cut components can include:
- Gaskets
- Seals
- Pads
- Spacers
- Thermal Management
- Cushioning and protective components
- Adhesive-backed components
- Sounds & Vibration Control
Have a part that doesn't fit neatly into one of those categories? Send us your drawing or project requirements. Our team can review the application and help determine the right solution.
## Custom Solutions for Sealing, Protection and Performance
The right component can help protect equipment, prevent damage, improve performance and extend product life. ICP manufactures custom components for a wide range of OEM applications.
### Sealing Solutions & Gaskets
Prevent water intrusion, air leaks, dust and other contaminants from affecting sensitive equipment. We manufacture custom gaskets, seals and other components designed around your application's fit, material and performance requirements.
### Cushioning & Component Protection
Protect sensitive parts from impact, movement, friction and everyday wear. Custom foam, rubber and other flexible material components can provide cushioning, separation and protection within equipment and assemblies.
### Sound & Vibration Control
Reduce unwanted noise, movement and vibration with custom pads, dampening materials and other fabricated components. Our team can help evaluate material options based on the demands of your application.
### Thermal Management & Insulation
Help protect components from heat exposure or manage thermal conditions with custom insulation, shielding and heat-resistant materials. We can evaluate material and construction options to meet your performance and manufacturing needs.
### Adhesive-Backed & Multi-Layer Components
Some applications require multiple materials to work together. ICP can laminate flexible materials or apply adhesive backing before cutting components to their required dimensions, simplifying production of multi-layer parts.

### Splash Guard for Electronic Parts
**Protecting Sensitive Electronics While Reducing Costs**
An OEM needed a cost-effective splash guard to protect electronics from water exposure. ICP modified the design to allow for die cutting instead of thermoforming, delivering several key results.
Project results:
50% shorter lead time
90% lower tooling costs
Reduced production and shipping costs

### Powersports Thermal Shielding
**Preventing Melting Without a Major Redesign**
When heat from a muffler was damaging nearby plastic components, ICP recommended improved thermal materials and adhesive fastening.
Project results:
Resolve the heat transfer problem
Eliminate mechanical fasteners
Reduce manufacturing costs

## Frequently Asked Questions
### What types of custom sealing solutions does ICP manufacture?
ICP manufactures custom gaskets, seals, pads and other flexible material components for OEM applications. These components can help prevent water intrusion, control air movement, protect equipment from contaminants and address other sealing requirements.
### Can ICP help determine which material is right for my application?
Yes. Our team can evaluate materials based on your application's performance requirements, manufacturing needs and budget. We can also discuss alternatives if you're looking to improve an existing component or reduce production costs.
### What's the difference between die cutting and dieless knife cutting?
**Die cutting** uses a dedicated cutting die to produce repeatable shapes, making it well suited for many ongoing production applications. **Dieless knife cutting** uses programmable cutting equipment and doesn't require dedicated die tooling, providing flexibility for prototypes, design changes and certain production requirements.
ICP offers both methods and can help determine which is a better fit for your project.
### Can ICP manufacture adhesive-backed or laminated components?
Yes. ICP offers adhesive laminating capabilities to combine flexible materials or apply adhesive backing before cutting components to their required shapes.
### Can ICP help reduce the cost of an existing part?
Potentially. Material selection, design modifications, and manufacturing process changes can all influence production costs. Our team can review your existing component and requirements to identify opportunities for improvement.
### Can ICP take over production from another supplier?
Yes. If you're considering a supplier change, ICP can review your existing drawings, specifications, materials and production requirements to evaluate the project and discuss next steps.
### What information do I need to request a quote?
A drawing or print, material specifications, estimated production quantities and application requirements are helpful starting points. If some details haven't been finalized, provide what you have so our team can discuss what's needed.
### Does ICP sell raw materials?
No. ICP sources materials for the custom components it manufactures but does not sell raw materials or plastic sheets directly.
### I'm a solopreneur or a STartup with an idea for a product. Can you help me?
It depends. If you have drawings of what you are looking for, we can review and see if it is a good fit. If not, we can connect you with a design partner who can help.
## Find the Right Solution for Your Application
Whether you need a custom sealing solution, protective component, vibration-dampening material or another flexible fabricated part, ICP can help you evaluate the options.
Share your project requirements with our team to discuss materials, manufacturing methods and pricing.
