You can’t beat the reliability and durability of our machined plastic fabrication supplies and related services and products here at Miller Plastic Products.

At 3″ wide by 5″ overall length and .75″ thick, our design is wider and thicker than typical molded hinges to increase the attachment footprint and improve load handling capacity.

Extruded Tank Reinforcement Encapsulation

We utilize a high quality molded plastic c-channel to encapsulate our steel reinforcement bands on tanks, vessels, and stands. Our molded c-channel encapsulation is superior to bent sheet stock because it does not have weakened corners.

The encapsulation is available in two sizes to fit standard steel tubing. It is conveniently sized to accommodate dissimilar thermal expansion rates between plastic and steel reinforcing bands. It is available in black, natural, and Euro grey, Co-Poly Propylene material. Available in 1 ½” or 3” square steel tubing cover. Our standard section length 30’ but it can be cut or mitered to custom lengths.

Trade Show Pallets, Tables, Containers, and Fixtures

Precision machined plastic components provide an ideal method to create durable, attractive trade show appliances that can result in significant savings to your trade show budget. For example, heavy display products can be mounted directly to custom pallets and stands to eliminate the need for “riggers” to manipulate or install.

Pallets and containers can also be transformed into tables, benches, and backdrops.

Quickly assemble and disassemble your shipping pallet/tradeshow table.  Break your table down at 5 o’clock, it turns into your shipping pallet in five minutes and there’s no need to wait for your box to be delivered to your booth.  Often times exhibitors have to wait hours for the pallet to show up.  If the show is over at five, you can be on your way to the airport at 5:30.  This can save substantial money on renting a table for your booth, additional hotel rooms, and other expenses.

Our plastic pallets are superior to wood pallets in many aspects, such as longevity, durability, flexibility, ease of use, etc.
