Ever wonder what goes into those clean, clear plastic dividers you see on retail shelves? They might look simple — but behind each one is precision engineering, high-grade materials, and a detailed manufacturing process. At Novaday, we specialize in PET shelf dividers made through plastic injection molding. And today, we’re showing you exactly how it works.

From material selection to final packaging, every step is designed to optimize clarity, consistency, and performance — because when it comes to in-store displays, details matter.

Let’s walk you through the full journey.


STEP 1: CHOOSING THE MATERIAL — WHY WE USE PET

Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) is the material of choice for shelf dividers — and for good reason. At Novaday, it’s the foundation of our product line.

Here’s why PET works so well:

  • Crystal Clear Appearance – keeps your product visible, not hidden behind foggy plastic
  • Lightweight Yet Durable – easy to handle, but tough enough to handle restocking and cleaning
  • Moisture and Chemical Resistant – performs well in beverage, beauty, and cold chain environments
  • 100% Recyclable – supports your sustainability goals

Whether you’re organizing snacks or skincare, PET provides the durability and transparency modern retail demands.


STEP 2: DESIGNING THE MOLD — CUSTOMIZATION STARTS HERE

Before production even begins, our in-house R\&D team gets to work designing the mold.

At Novaday, we don’t rely on third-party tooling. We build all injection molds in-house, giving you faster timelines, tighter tolerances, and true customization.

What we offer:

  • Custom sizes and shapes — height, length, angle, tabs
  • OEM/ODM flexibility — develop from scratch or adapt existing systems
  • Shelf compatibility — designed to fit your specific fixture brands (Tego, Linde, Hermes, etc.)

This is where our PET mold-making expertise truly sets us apart.


STEP 3: PLASTIC INJECTION — THE MANUFACTURING CORE

With the mold designed and ready, we move to injection molding — the core process that gives PET dividers their form.

Here’s how it works:

  1. Material Loading
  2. Heating
  3. Injection
  4. Cooling
  5. Ejection

This cycle repeats every few seconds — allowing us to scale production efficiently while maintaining consistency.


STEP 4: QUALITY CONTROL — BECAUSE LOOKS AREN’T ENOUGH

Each batch is inspected for far more than just visual appeal.

Our PET dividers go through:

  • Clarity Checks – no bubbles, no cloudiness
  • Dimensional Accuracy – tolerance of ±0.2mm
  • Flexibility Tests – it shouldn’t crack under normal handling
  • Branding Options – laser logo etching and product labeling available

We’re not satisfied until every unit passes all performance benchmarks.


STEP 5: PACKAGING & LOGISTICS — GETTING PRODUCTS TO YOU FAST

Once approved, dividers are packaged according to your requirements:

  • Bulk or individual packaging options
  • Custom labels and private branding available
  • Palletized, boxed, or store-ready delivery
  • Global shipping to Europe, North America, Australia — and soon South America

We understand logistics — and we make it easy.
