Question regarding molded-in metal hooks

Hi,



I recently saw a consumer product where a wire metal hook (stainless steel)
was molded-in to an injection-molded plastic part. Has anyone used these
types of molded-in hooks in plastic parts, and can you recommend a
manufacturer? A push-in or press-in hook could be another option, as well as
creating the hook (plastic) as feature of the injection-molded part.
However, this may not be an option depending on the YS (yield strength).



I may have a need in the future for these types of hooks, so any information
would be appreciated. What is the cost difference between using a molded-in
hook versus the geometry being a feature (created by mold tooling) of the
part?



Regards,



Chris Thompson
