The outer and inner surfaces of the vending machine, battery casing and electrical switches are produced in high volume using moulded plastics. CDs and DVDs are normally made from plastic parts. In the automotive components, plastic injection moulding products such as bumpers, dashboards, wipers, etc are used. In addition to that, cosmetic items like shampoo, facial creams, and make-up boxes also come enclosed in plastics. The packaging industry uses plastics to pack foods such as salads, meats, chips etc. Syringe, Gloves, IV tubes, plastic lenses, protective gear and other medical equipment are the plastic injection moulding products used in medicine and hospitals. Product design and implementation for plastic toys are easier, as they can be twisted and bent easily. Toys are one of the major and popular plastics products found in the markets. Items like keyboards, mouse and the outer surface of the monitor, printers etc.

Plastic cups, bowls, plates, spoons, and other cooking items used in everyday household work are made of plastic. The plastic injection moulding process for products is extensively used in a wide variety of fields. Other popular uses for injection moulding include packaging, car parts, storage containers, toys, plumbing components and medical items. Uses of injection moulded parts vary in size enormously, from the tiniest machine widgets to entire car body panels. The moulds are normally made from a strong tool metal such as steel or aluminium to help it withstand the pressure of heavy use, and precision designed by engineers to fit their exact purpose. The chosen material is heated and then injected into a specially shaped mould to create a component that is exactly the right shape, colour and size required for a piece of machinery, moving part or other types of equipment.

The majority of the plastics we use in everyday life are produced from the injection moulding process. It is the rapid method of producing a large number of plastic products with high precision. Injection moulding process is producing plastic products by inserting the plastic granules, heating them, cooling them and finally giving the shape and size of the required plastic products. Later on, the Second World War created an unprecedented demand for mass-produced, cheap products. Early products made using the process included buttons, collar stays and hair combs. It was based around a large hypodermic needle that forced melted plastic through a heated cylinder into a shaped mould. The first-ever injection of the moulding machine was patented by American inventor John Wesley Hyatt and his brother, Isaac in 1872. Machine used for the injection moulding process
