Choosing the Right Plastic Bumper Feet for Your Product Design

Rubber Bumpers and Plastic Feet

Designing a new product is exciting—every detail matters, from function to aesthetics. One seemingly small but essential element in many designs is plastic bumper feet. These components provide stability, protect surfaces, reduce vibration, and add a polished finish to your product. But deciding which bumper feet to use involves more than simply picking a size.

At Budwig Molded Products, we’ve been helping manufacturers, designers, and engineers select the perfect plastic and rubber bumper feet for over 50 years. Our experience means you can count on expert guidance at every stage of your project.

Key Considerations for Bumper Feet Selection

When designing your product, you’ll want to answer a few important questions:

  • Size – How big should the bumper feet be to balance stability and aesthetics?

  • Shape – Would round feet better match your product’s design, or would square feet provide more surface contact?

  • Material – Should you opt for thermoplastic rubber for flexibility, or a harder plastic for maximum durability?

Getting these details right ensures your bumper feet enhance your product’s performance and appearance.

Standard and Custom Options

Budwig offers plastic bumper feet in multiple sizes, shapes, and colors, including classic black and medium gray. But if your design calls for something unique, we can manufacture custom bumpers to your exact specifications.

Customization options include:

  • Unique shapes to fit your product perfectly

  • Special sizes for non-standard designs

  • Custom colors to match your branding

  • Variable hardness levels for flexibility or rigidity as needed

Whether you need a softer durometer for shock absorption or a harder material for maximum strength, Budwig has the in-house capability to produce what you need.
