Bird Caps

We were asked by our international customer to work with them to manufacture a custom bird cap.
A drawing was supplied to us, from which a prototype tool was made.  
Samples of the caps were made using the prototype tool.
In our secondary operations department, holes were punched into the covers ready for the cable ties.
Upon approval of samples, production tooling for bulk volume manufacture was made. 
Thousands of the plastic bird caps were then manufactured and shipped to our customer.
