From Prototype to Production in China.
CHILLIX helps hardware startups, product teams and growing brands turn defined designs and working prototypes into injection-molded plastic parts. We coordinate tooling, sampling, production and assembly through U.S.-based communication and a family-owned factory in Ningbo, China.

Best suited for
For teams approaching manufacturing.
CHILLIX is best suited for companies with a substantially defined design, CAD or STEP files, a working prototype, a physical sample, or an existing product that needs a production path.

When to work with CHILLIX
If your project is around this stage, we may be a good fit.
We are strongest after the idea has meaningful definition and before stable repeat production has been established.

Tooling
Manufacturability questions, material, cavity strategy and mold scope.
T1 & sampling
Fit, function, appearance and revision feedback.
Production
Injection molding and relevant secondary operations.
Assembly
Assembly, inspection and packaging coordination when required.

Real manufacturing experience
Actual parts behind the CHILLIX story.
These references demonstrate experience with functional profiles, interacting components and assembly context. They do not imply that every historical program was manufactured for a startup.
Interacting molded systems
Housings, gears, shafts, rings and mating elements considered together.
Profiles & mating features
Inner keys, outer flats, wall profiles and locating geometry remain visible.
Assembly context
Parts reviewed according to fit, motion and the way they will be used.
A visible, staged process
Five checkpoints. One clearer project.
One worktable, two project pathways: custom manufacturing and existing products. The same principle applies to both—make assumptions visible before they become expensive.

Why CHILLIX
One practical bridge between product teams and manufacturing in China.
Clear communication matters most at the point where product decisions become tooling, samples, production commitments and shipped goods.
01
U.S.-based communication
Convenient buyer-facing communication for North American companies, with qualified worldwide inquiries welcome.
02
China-side execution
Manufacturing coordination rooted in Ningbo, not a handoff to an unknown supplier directory.
03
Connected scope
Tooling, molding, secondary work, assembly, packaging and production follow-through when relevant.
04
Long-term usefulness
Build a repeatable sourcing and manufacturing relationship around practical project evidence.
Buyer questions
Useful answers before you inquire
Specific commercial and technical details depend on the item, but these are the right starting assumptions.
At what stage should I contact CHILLIX?
CHILLIX is most relevant when you have a substantially defined design, CAD or STEP files, a working prototype, a physical sample, or an existing product preparing for tooling or production.
What does CHILLIX do?
CHILLIX supports hardware startups, product teams and growing brands with tooling, injection molding, assembly and manufacturing coordination in China. We also help importers and distributors with product sourcing and private-label customization.
Do I need finished CAD files?
Finished CAD files are helpful, but a physical sample, clear reference and functional requirements may be enough to begin an initial manufacturing-route review.
Can CHILLIX support tooling and T1 samples?
CHILLIX coordinates tooling scope, mold trials, sample feedback and the revisions needed before production approval.
Do you only work with U.S. buyers?
No. CHILLIX is U.S.-based and especially convenient for North American communication, while inquiries from qualified buyers worldwide are welcome.
What is the minimum order quantity?
MOQ depends on the product, color, packaging, process and whether new tooling is required. Share a target quantity and CHILLIX will confirm the practical range for the specific project.
Can I request samples before placing an order?
Yes. Sample options and costs depend on whether the item is an existing product, a private-label variation or a custom part.
Can CHILLIX help with assembly, packaging and logo application?
Often, yes. Available methods vary by product and order volume, so assembly, inspection, packaging and marking feasibility are reviewed before quoting.
What should I send to start a custom plastic part project?
A drawing, physical sample, reference photos or a clear description of the part's function can start the conversation. Expected volume, material preference and critical dimensions are also helpful.
A practical next step
Ready to turn a defined product into a production plan?
Send the drawing, prototype, sample or existing product reference you have. We will help identify the right route and the missing information.
