Select-a-SealĀ® Prototyping Capability

Our unique, cost-effective manufacturing process allows for fast turn-around of prototype parts and does not require expensive tooling like alternative gasket technologies. From the time the CAD files of the mating flanges are received at our prototyping facility, we can design a gasket, cut sheets, apply the edge, and inspect the prototype - all within ten days.

Prototype charges apply - Standard service is available at a discounted fee.


Tooling Minimization

The reduced tooling requirements easily accommodate design changes, thereby eliminating the 8 to 18 week lead-time necessary for tooling of injection molded parts.


Typical Production Tooling Costs   Design Freeze Lead Times
Select-a-Seal $5,000   Select-a-Seal 10 days
Rubber-coated Metal $40,000   Rubber-coated Metal 60 days
Rubber-edged Metal $100,000   Rubber-edged Metal 120 days
