Sourcing Living Hinges.
(OP)
I have a project where I have been requested to use a living hinge aka plastic continuous hinge.....
I find alot of engineering information online but I have not been able to find a source.
Is anyone out there using a living hinge on a project now and what have your experiences been?
I am not sure that this application is appropriate for this living hinge.

I am hoping that we are comparing apples with apples.
A Living Hinge can be most often found in plastic clousure design for such products a ketchup, shampoo, skin lotions... just to name a few.
