What secondary finishing is and why it matters

Secondary finishing adapts a completed flexible PVC cap to a customer’s exact dimensional, functional or identification needs. Compared with making a new mould, it is a quick and economical way to achieve the required result without unnecessary investment.

At VINYL-FLEX® we carry out secondary finishing at our Ústí nad Labem plant. We manufacture, modify and deliver the cap as a finished part, so customers need not coordinate several suppliers. This shortens lead times, reduces errors and ensures consistent quality throughout a production run.

VINYL-FLEX® secondary finishing options

Pad printing (single colour) uses a flexible silicone pad to apply permanent designs — logos, symbols, labels or safety markings — directly to flexible PVC. The maximum print area is 70 × 70 mm. A vector PDF emailed to poplastovani@email.cz is the preferred artwork for making the printing plate.

Cutting to length precisely shortens a cap or removes its closed end. This can produce a cap that matches thread depth exactly or an open-ended sleeve for insulation or a feed-through. Machine cutting provides a clean, burr-free edge and consistent dimensions across the run.

Hole punching creates an accurately positioned round hole in the cap wall or base. Flexible PVC stays elastic, allowing the hole to fit closely around a cable and provide both protection and sealing. Punching can be combined with cutting to make a custom feed-through.

When to choose secondary finishing

Secondary finishing is ideal when a catalogue cap is close to the right fit but needs a small change. A cap can be shortened to match a thread instead of paying for a new mould. A standard cap can be punched for a wire feed-through. For company branding, pad printing is a quick, economical option.

Frequently asked questions

We offer three main operations: single-colour pad printing (up to 70 × 70 mm), precise machine cutting to shorten a cap or remove its base, and punching round holes for cables or wires. We do everything at our own plant.
Yes. Customers often request a shortened cap with a cable hole, or logo printing combined with cutting. We perform the operations in one production cycle and deliver a finished part.
Yes. VINYL-FLEX® handles orders from individual prototypes to large production runs. Printing requires a one-off plate cost of approximately CZK 800, which is not charged again for repeat orders.
Because all work is done in-house, lead times are shorter than when external subcontractors are involved. The exact date depends on the modification and quantity; we confirm it in the quotation.
Usually, yes. We primarily modify caps we manufacture ourselves so we can guarantee how the material behaves during processing. You have one supplier responsible for the entire production chain.
Email poplastovani@email.cz with the requested modification, cap type and expected quantity. For printing, attach the artwork, preferably as a PDF. We will prepare a free quotation.
