White Paper – Fastening Techniques for Plastic Housings

April 1, 2022
This White Paper examines the advantages and disadvantages of solid pins, adhesives, screws, bolts, and snap-fit joints used to assemble and retain plastic components.

Designers must consider performance, simplicity, fastener costs, and the total cost of assembly when designing plastic housings.  Far too often, new product designs are finalized without considering assembly cycle time, scrap rate, maintenance costs, and consumer behavior throughout the product’s useful lifetime.  This White Paper examines the advantages and disadvantages of using solid pins, adhesives, screws, bolts, and snap-fit joints to assemble and retain plastic components.
