Plastic POS Display

Yes, KingStar Mold specializes in hybrid manufacturing solutions that combine both plastic and metal components within a single POS display unit. These mixed-material displays are ideal for applications requiring a balance between aesthetic appeal, structural strength, and functional versatility.

Common Use Cases

We often recommend hybrid designs for:

• High-load display racks that require a plastic aesthetic body with metal reinforcements or brackets

• Electronics-integrated displays that need plastic housings for screens or lighting with metal frames for stability

• Luxury brand fixtures, where metal adds premium feel and weight, while plastic provides freedom of shape and color

Production Capabilities

We offer full in-house capabilities to fabricate both materials:

• Injection Molding for high-precision plastic parts (PMMA, ABS, PS, PVC)

• Sheet Metal Fabrication and CNC Machining for metal frames, connectors, or base plates

• Overmolding and assembly integration, allowing parts to be bonded together seamlessly in production

Design Considerations

To ensure performance and aesthetics:

• We evaluate mechanical stress points to determine metal placement (e.g., load-bearing legs or frames)

• We optimize joining techniques such as inserts, ultrasonic welding, or mechanical fasteners

• Our team ensures color and surface compatibility between materials for cohesive branding

Quality and Visual Consistency

KingStar Mold conducts dimensional matching and material tolerance analysis to avoid gaps or misalignment between materials. Surface finishing—like powder coating for metal and UV coating for plastic—can be coordinated to maintain a unified appearance.

Hybrid POS displays allow brands to push the limits of design without sacrificing stability or user experience. Contact KingStar Mold with your concept, and we’ll guide you through material selection, structural planning, and production strategy to bring it to life.

Yes, KingStar Mold offers a full suite of printing and surface finishing solutions tailored to help clients achieve strong brand visibility and professional presentation in their plastic POS displays and other molded parts. Whether you’re aiming for high-end retail aesthetics or durable utility finishes, we can match the right process to your goals.

Printing Techniques for Custom Branding

We support various printing options that allow for vivid logos, text, graphics, and color effects directly on plastic surfaces:

• Silk Screening – Ideal for flat or gently curved surfaces, offering durable and sharp branding in solid colors.

• Pad Printing – Best for detailed logos on irregular surfaces like handles, edges, or complex contours.

• Hot Stamping – Offers a metallic or glossy finish, perfect for premium displays or accent branding.

• UV Printing – Suitable for full-color artwork or photos, delivering vibrant and durable finishes with high precision.

Each printing process is carefully selected based on the plastic material, surface curvature, and volume of production.

Surface Finishing Options

Beyond printing, we also offer protective and decorative finishes that improve both the look and the durability of your product:

For Plastic POS Displays:

• UV Coating: Adds a glossy, scratch-resistant finish that also protects against color fading under store lighting.

• Painting: Custom color-matching available for your brand palette; matte or glossy options can be applied.

• Texturing: Molded-in textures or sprayed finishes can hide fingerprints or scuff marks on high-contact areas.

For Metal Display Fixtures or Inserts:

• Powder Coating: Durable and uniform, ideal for protective color finishes on metal brackets or frames.

• Anodizing / Electroplating: Suitable for aluminum components needing corrosion resistance and a refined appearance.

• Laser Engraving: Permanent marking option for logos or barcodes on metallic parts.

Recommendations Based on Display Purpose

• For luxury product displays, we recommend hot stamping + UV coating for a premium look and scratch resistance.

• For high-touch retail fixtures, textured painting or silk screening with abrasion-resistant inks offers longer-lasting clarity.

• For seasonal or short-term displays, pad printing provides a cost-effective branding solution.

• For outdoor or high-UV environments, UV printing or coating will protect graphics from fading and weathering.

At KingStar Mold, we collaborate with your design team to ensure your custom branding is both visually impressive and functionally durable, no matter the retail setting. Let us know your end-use scenario and design intent, and we’ll propose the most suitable finishing options for your product.

Durability is a key factor when investing in plastic POS (point-of-sale) displays, especially for brands expecting high visibility and longevity in retail environments. At KingStar Mold, we design and manufacture displays not just for visual appeal but with long-term durability in mind—balancing material strength, environmental resistance, and structural integrity.

Material Selection for Longevity

The foundation of durability starts with the right materials. We select plastics known for their performance in busy retail spaces:

• PMMA (Acrylic): Scratch-resistant, UV-stable, and ideal for transparent display panels or shelves that maintain clarity over time.

• ABS: Tough and impact-resistant, often used for base structures and housings that require robustness.

• PS (Polystyrene): Lightweight yet rigid, suitable for medium-term promotional displays with sharp detail and clean finishes.

• PVC: Moisture-resistant and chemically stable, ideal for displays exposed to high humidity or chemical cleaning agents.

Each material is chosen based on the specific use-case scenario, whether the display is freestanding, wall-mounted, or integrated into larger shelving systems.

Engineering for Structural Strength

Design factors greatly influence how well a POS display holds up over time. At KingStar Mold, we apply DFM (Design for Manufacturability) principles to reinforce stress-prone areas, minimize weak points, and optimize wall thickness for load-bearing sections. We also account for real-world wear—such as repetitive handling, exposure to sunlight, and transportation—by reinforcing joints and using UV-stabilized plastics when needed.

Rigorous Quality Control Process

Durability is guaranteed through a structured quality assurance process:

• Dimensional checks on key features to ensure consistent fit and stability

• Drop and impact testing for high-traffic display types

• Material certification to validate strength, aging resistance, and compliance with safety standards

• 24/7 inspection protocols during production to catch defects early and maintain uniformity across all parts

We also perform visual inspections and functionality tests before shipment to ensure your display performs just as well after months of use as it did on day one.
