Custom Solutions

Engineering & Prototyping

Since 1957, Zippertubing® has been manufacturing custom solutions for a wide range of component challenges.

From under the sea to outer space, we have prototyped, built, and shipped custom-engineered solutions for every type of industry and application. We specialize in creating custom products in-house from beginning to end, so you feel confident you will receive the perfect solution for your unique application.

Since we have been solving heat shielding, cable bundling, and EMI shielding challenges for decades, we understand not every application requires the same material, shielding, closure, size, or shape. Our wide range of manufacturing capabilities paired with our industry-leading Engineering team allows us to provide a heat shielding, cable bundling, EMI shielding, or specialized heat shrink solution catered to your needs.

Miller Edge

I engaged Zippertubing on a development project after careful review of their online products and capabilities. Matt and his team met with me and provided hands-on review and technical details of existing products and their impressive library of material samples. They offer robust protective coverings made from natural and synthetic fabrics, metal and polymer foils and films and a huge assortment of engineered structures developed for specific functions such as puncture and abrasion resistance, EMI shielding and more. We talked about our product performance demands and cost considerations. We also reviewed conceptual design details about our vision of the finished product. Just a week later Matt called me back for another meeting where I was shown actual proof of concept assemblies as well as functional prototypes. It took a few more iterations to iron out details, but the Zippertubing engineering and sales experts were able to develop timely and cost effective protective covering solutions to our demanding performance requirements. 10 out of 10.

Global Aerospace Corporation

We recently worked with Zippertubing on the design of a submerged fuel hose system for the Navy. Zippertubing was responsible for the design and fabrication of engineering model hardware that we used for mechanical property testing. In addition, they designed and fabricated 450 feet of prototype hardware that was delivered to the Navy for eventual ocean testing. We were impressed with the creativity and expertise of the design and production engineers and Zippertubing’s willingness to go the extra mile. We would highly recommend Zippertubing to other companies seeking innovative solutions to challenging problems.
