Sealing strip FAQ: MOQ, price, samples, tooling and shipping

Send a profile drawing or clear cross-section photo, key dimensions / gap size, material or performance requirement, estimated quantity, and packing / branding requirement.

Yes. Send a drawing, a photo of the old seal or a physical sample. We can match an existing profile or discuss developing a new one with our partner factory.

EPDM (solid / sponge), PVC, TPE, silicone, PU-foam coated and EVA foam. Common EPDM foam colours are black, white, brown, grey and beige. Tell us your application so we can discuss the material.

No minimum order – standard profiles from 10 m. Indicative FOB prices start from US$0.05/m for EPDM foam door & window seals and US$0.10/m for automotive seals; final price depends on section, material and quantity.

Sampling takes 7–10 days. Mass production takes about 20 days per 40GP container.

For custom profiles with a drawing or dimensions, tooling and samples are usually free – you only pay the courier. Very complex parts: sample fee on the first order, refunded on your repeat order. Packing options include roll, bobbin, jumbo roll, carton and private label.

We are an export supplier in Zhuhai. Production is done by our long-term partner extrusion factory in Hebei (since 2013, 20,000+ m², 8 production lines, 3,600 t a year). We manage your profile, sampling, inspection, packing and shipping.

Yes, visits can be arranged with advance notice; we can also do a live video walk-through of the lines and your order.

We have shipped to customers in Malaysia, New Zealand, Ukraine, Hungary, Austria, UAE, Thailand, Vietnam and the USA.

100 m or 150 m per roll, usually 4 rolls per carton; custom packing and private-label cartons on request.

Stock items ship within 7 days. Made-to-order profiles: sampling 7–10 days, production about 20 days per 40GP container.

FOB, CIF, EXW and DDP.

T/T is standard; tell us if you need other terms and we will confirm with the order.

Raw-material RoHS and REACH test reports are available on request. Tell us if your market needs a specific test and we will check what can be provided for your compound.

Dimension spot checks against the drawing, hardness testing, visual inspection of surface and colour, and photos of loading for every container.

Usually within 2 hours on working days by email or WhatsApp.

Measure the gap with the door closed. As a starting point: I (9 × 2 mm) for 1–2 mm gaps, E (9 × 4) for 2–3.5 mm, P (9 × 5.5) for 3–5 mm and D (9 × 6 up to 21 × 15) for 3–12 mm. Choose a section about 20–40% taller than the gap so the foam is compressed but the door still closes easily.

EPDM foam keeps its elasticity outdoors and handles UV, ozone and temperature changes better; PU foam with a PE film is softer, cheaper and common for interior doors and timber frames with a kerf groove. See our EPDM vs PU foam guide for a side-by-side table.

Yes. Private-label cards, carton marks and roll lengths can be specified with your order.

Indicative FOB prices start from US$0.05 per metre for standard EPDM foam profiles. Final price depends on section, material and quantity.

We match sections from a drawing, a clear cross-section photo or a physical sample of the old seal. We do not use vehicle brand names or logos on our products.

It is a U-shaped channel that grips the folded sheet-metal flange (pinch weld) around a door or trunk opening, usually with a metal clip carrier inside and a sponge bulb on top or at the side that the door closes against.

Measure the total thickness of the flange, including any paint or trim. Edge trim is specified by grip range, for example 1–2 mm or 2–4 mm. See our edge trim grip range guide.

There is no minimum – standard profiles from 10 m. Indicative FOB prices start from US$0.10 per metre.

Measure the base (outer / inner width of the part that sits in the retainer) and the height (overall / to the side lip) of the old seal, and send a photo of its cross-section. Compare with the 16 sections on this page.

On double rear doors the left door usually carries a 3-sided gasket (top, bottom and hinge side) and the right door a 4-sided gasket, so the two doors seal against each other in the middle.

Yes. We can supply coils, cut lengths or finished frames with corners made to your door size.

Truck seals are quoted by section and length because section weight varies a lot between sizes. Send the section and the door sizes for a quotation.

Measure the total thickness of the edge it will sit on. Pick a trim whose grip range covers that thickness in the middle of its range, not at the limit. See our edge trim grip range guide.

PVC is economical and comes in many colours – good for cabinets, machinery guards and interiors. EPDM keeps its grip and shape outdoors under UV and ozone – choose it for vehicles, boats and enclosures outside.

Yes – top-bulb and side-bulb versions seal doors and hatches as well as protecting the edge.

Indicative FOB prices start from US$0.10 per metre; it depends on section, carrier and quantity.

Measure the width of the groove it slides into (base width) and the distance to the surface it must touch (pile height). Choose a pile height about 0.5–1 mm more than the gap. See our pile height guide.

A thin plastic fin inside the pile blocks air and water better than pile alone; finned pile is the usual choice for exterior sliding windows.

Yes, for retrofitting doors and frames without a groove.

Pile seals are quoted by base width and pile height. Send your sizes and quantity for a price.

A self-adhesive silicone sweep is the quickest fit; if the door has a groove in its bottom edge, a slot-type TPE strip is neater and lasts longer.

Yes – PVC and EPDM bottom seals for sectional and roll-up doors, and floor-mounted thresholds. Tell us the retainer type and door width.

Yes. We can supply rolls or cut lengths for your door widths.

No minimum – from 10 m. Indicative FOB prices start from US$0.06 per metre.

Note where it goes (between two doors, against a wall, along the floor), the glass thickness and the gap. See our shower door seal types guide.

6, 8, 10 and 12 mm are standard; tell us your glass if it is different.

A bendable silicone strip stuck to the floor to keep water inside a walk-in shower or on a countertop.

No minimum – from 10 m. Indicative FOB prices start from US$0.15 per metre.

A drawing or clear cross-section photo with key dimensions, the application, material or performance requirement (temperature, outdoor use, food contact, hardness), estimated quantity and packing needs.

For most custom profiles made from your drawing or dimensions, tooling and samples are free – you only pay the courier. Very complex parts may carry a sample fee on the first order, refunded on your repeat order.

Sampling takes 7–10 days; mass production takes about 20 days per 40GP container.

Yes. Post the sample or send clear photos of the cut end next to a ruler; we measure it and propose a profile.

Pull back the gasket and check how it is fixed (push-in dart, screws or adhesive), then photograph the cut end or the corner next to a ruler. Send that photo with the door's outer size and the quantity.

The PVC hardens or tears with age and cleaning, and the bellows flattens, so the magnet no longer pulls it fully onto the cabinet. Ice build-up near the door is the usual sign.

Yes – from a photo of the section with a ruler, a short sample or a drawing. Tell us the fixing type and the door size.

No minimum – from 10 m. Gaskets are quoted by section and size.

Mono-directional is stronger along the length – for bundling and strapping. Cross / bi-directional also resists tearing across – for heavy or irregular cartons.

Yes, it can be added to a seal order and shipped in the same container.

Filament tape is quoted by width, roll length and quantity.
