Bumper Stops for Large Projects or Small Inventors

Kickstarter facilitates inventors and entrepreneurs getting their products up and running.  They help entrepreneurs raise money to get their products to the market.  Kickstarter has raised hundreds of millions of dollars to fund thousands of creative projects. 

Our Bumper Specialties blog also supports inventive products that use our bumper stops.  We support start-up companies that come up with useful and innovative projects that may need bumper stops for extra protection.  We usually get involved when designers are putting the finishing touches on their products and need rubber feet for sound dampening or spacing.  When the Kickstarter project "The mPrinter" needed rubber feet to prevent sliding and skidding, they chose Bumper Specialties bumper stops.

The mPrinter is a small printer that uses thermal printing to produce small snippets of information, called “mPrints” from either WiFi or USB connection.  mPrinter can print just about anything—including HTML, text, pictures, or even “custom hosted” Java Script.   

The mPrinter uses Bumper Specialties rubber feet

In addition to providing quality bumper stops to small start ups like mPrinter, Bumper Specialties manufactures millions rubber feet a day.  As a manufacturer of bumper stops, we can supply large companies’ high volume of rubber feet.  We make it simple for customers that have an increasing bumper demand and need to buy rubber feet in bulk.  Even with these large volume orders, we have short lead times and better logistic options because we manufacture on site.   This means our sales representatives can constantly communicate their customer’s needs with our plant managers almost instantly.  Bumper Specialties is ready to supply and help when a small invention grows into a popular product!  

Cabinet Door Stops

Bumper Specialties: Industry Leader in Cabinet Door Protection

Cabinet door stops rank as one of Bumper Specialties most popular applications.  It’s amazing how certain sounds can make you cringe: your beeping alarm clock, a blaring car horn, and yes, the awful sound a cabinet makes when it slams shut!  Lucky for you, we have engineered the best sound dampening cabinet door stops in the industry.  Our bumper stoppers are designed with a softer durometer than the rest of our standard line to help cushion the door close. This provides our customers with a silent close and not that rattling smack!

You can find our door bumpers on kitchen cabinets or bathroom cabinets.  Some cabinets use screw in bumpers or threaded plastic feet, but they have higher labor and machinery costs.  Instead, our door stops are easy to apply, just peel of the back and stick on the inside corner of the cabinet to buffer the door from the cabinet frame—it will strongly adhere to the door with no extra work for you.  Furthermore, Bumper Specialties uses 100% polyurethane to make our rubber cabinet door stops, which is a higher quality compared to cork stops or foam pads.  Try our cabinet bumpers and hear the difference in your home too!

Bumper feet on Acoustic Dock

Schuttenworks iPhone dock

Schuttenworks creates handcrafted wooden accessories, stands, and docks for the several different Apple products.  Schuttenworks chooses Bumper Specialties rubber feet to use on the bottom of their docks to minimize sound vibration and to keep the dock in place to prevent sliding on surfaces.  These docks give an earthy look to the commonly sterile looking charging stand.  They also amplify the sound of the built in iPhone speakers without using any extra power.  Just like Bumper Specialties rubber feet, these stands are proudly Made in the USA.
