VTL offers a range of engineering services to help customers realize their product development or production goals. Starting with development, VTL can help with material selection or manufacturing services. VTL can also help with the development of tooling. VTL uses the AIAG APQP process by default but will engage the customer in their own product development methodology as well.

VTL can also provide Quality Engineering services to assist with process optimization using DOE or FMEA. When you are ready to deploy, VTL will also be there to support you as needed. VTL has supported UAV fuel bladder integration on several occasions.

Services provided:

  • Material selection
  • Tooling services and development
  • Product development
  • Quality engineering services
  • On site integration support

What You Get with VTL

  • On-Time Delivery

    We have a 99.8% rate of delivering products on time. VTL is a reliable supply chain partner that understands the critical need of delivering quality products accurately, reliably, and on-time.

  • Experience
    Vinyl Technology Inc. is the leading manufacturer for RF welded film and sewn textile products and has been around for 40 years. Our products are used for critical applications by hospitals and medical facilities, aerospace organizations such as NASA, and government and defense contractors. If you are an industrial corporation looking for a high-performance solution with a reliable partner, then we may be a good fit for you.
  • High Quality, Best Value
    With a top RF heat-sealing company like VTL, you’re getting only exactly what you pay for. Because we produce only what you designed, there isn’t a single weld out of spec or unexpected. That translates to a lower cost per unit than something you’d typically buy off the shelf. VTL is ISO 9100:2015, AS9100D Certified and Berry Compliant (when requested).
  • High Volume, Quick Production
    Our experienced engineering team can work with you on taking your blueprints from conception stage to production. Our manufacturing facilities are designed for high-volume production runs to help you scale your costs. If you are interested in starting a project, contact us today.

Material Selection

Commonly used materials include:

  • Specialty films including PVC, TPU, and other thermo-plastics.
  • Military-Spec Materials and Fabrics, like cotton, duck and nylon. These tend to be water-resistant, abrasion-proof lightweight, and heavy duty.
  • Polyurethane/TPU Coated and Laminated Fabrics. These fabrics are strong and light and are air- and water-tight.
  • Vinyl/PVC Coated and laminated Fabrics. This is similar to TPU coated and laminated fabrics but tend to be more affordable. This may be a better choice for less critical items.
  • Nylon, Polyester, Canvas, Kevlar, Nomex, Etc. These are available in military spec (Berry Amendment compliant…) or commercial grades.

Tooling Services and Development

Vinyl Technology can support your tooling development. We have our own in-house tool makers with CNC 5-axis machines which allows for quick turnaround and minimizes production downtime. More sophisticated tool and die needs can be outsourced to our specialty tooling house partners.

Product Development

Starting with your CAD drawings, we can help take your product from the prototype stage to large production volumes.
