Project details

An American fashion accessories brand planned to develop a portable storage bag for storing small items such as coins, earphones, and keys. The client initially intended to make a fine PU leather coin purse, but PU leather is prone to wear and tear, and the stitching is easily detached, resulting in an excessively long production cycle. Therefore, the client turned to a silicone products manufacturer.

Z.S.R Group actively communicated with clients, carefully listened to feedback, and developed a one-piece molded silicone clasp coin purse:

This coin purse requires no stitching, features a flap design, and uses a spring-loaded clasp with a ball at the top to open and close. The outer layer of the purse was printed using screen printing and pad printing processes. The challenge of this project lay in the printing, as the substrate was clearly visible.

Z.S.R Group ultimately adopted a 1:1 oil immersion process, manually dipping the silicone into oil to achieve the required print quality for the raised areas.

Delivery data

  • Initial trial order: 3,000 pieces
  • Subsequent mass production: 47,000 pieces
  • First-pass yield: 96.2%
  • Actual delivery time: 55 days.

Engineering DFM Assessment

DFM Optimization Suggestions

The client provided Z.S.R Group with sample images of the coin purse’s outer layer, but lacked detailed information such as the internal structure, wall thickness, and draft angle. Z.S.R Group engineers offered optimization suggestions regarding appearance, assembly, demolding, and molding risks:

Adjust the bag wall thickness to a uniform 2.2mm; round the corners to R3-R5; set a 3° draft angle on the side walls; integrate the top decoration with the bag body; leave a 0.15mm gap for buckle installation; the parting line should be located at the maximum value of the bag body outline.

Specific reasons

  • Uneven bag wall thickness can lead to bubbles and shrinkage marks after molding;
  • sharp corners increase flow resistance and stress concentration during molding, potentially causing insufficient filling and molding defects;
  • without a draft angle, the bag body is prone to demolding difficulties or tearing after molding;
  • glued bag bodies and decorations are prone to detachment, while a one-piece molding structure is more reliable;
  • excessive assembly gaps can cause buckles to loosen and fall off; insufficient gaps prevent the installation of metal parts;
  • the parting line on the front affects the appearance and should be hidden at the edge of the bag body.

Mold making, sample production & quality verification

Mold processing: Equipped with 6 advanced CNC machining centers and 4 EDM machining centers for the production of silicone bag molds.

Molding Process: 48 solid compression molding machines can rapidly mold 50,000 silicone bags within 40 days.

Secondary Vulcanization: Baking at 200℃ for 2 hours effectively removes volatile substances from the silicone, improving its feel and dimensional stability.
