Hi There, 

I'm currently working on a project for a client to manufacture a product (which I can't disclose) made of Nylon 66 30% Glass Reinforced. It is a cover which will have fairly detailed markings/writing on it, in two colours - black and orange. Whilst I can't disclose what exactly the product is, for arguments sake lets say its an iPad case.

The main point is that it needs to be tough and strong for use in building/construction environments.

Could anyone suggest an cheaper alternative material that could be used?

With my limited knowledge I would say that ABS may be an option?

Look forward to hearing some suggestions and thanks in advance.

Best Regards,

A
