Precision Injection Molding
Class A Parts
What Are Class A Plastic Parts?
Class A parts are injection-molded components that meet the highest level of cosmetic and surface appearance requirements. These parts are molded to be visually flawless on the exterior of a product—free of sink, flow lines, blemishes, or distortion—and must meet strict standards for gloss, color uniformity, texture, and overall aesthetic appeal.
At National Molding, we specialize in producing Class A surfaces with precision, combining process control, tooling excellence, and material expertise to deliver parts that look as good as they perform.
