The production process of a lighter usually involves the following main steps:

Material selection. The main raw materials of lighters include metal, plastic, rubber, glass, quartz, silk, chemicals, etc. The metal part mainly includes aluminum and copper, the plastic part is polyethylene, nylon, ABS, etc. Rubber is mainly used as a cushioning material to absorb impact. A large amount of oil (such as liquid petroleum gas) and other auxiliary materials are also required.
Molding. The metal part is processed through multiple processes such as sheet metal processing, pressing, stretching, punching and shearing, and polishing. The plastic part is processed by injection molding, extrusion, blow molding, etc. After molding, it needs to be fine-tuned and cut. The rubber part is processed by molding and other processes.

Oil injection. The formed lighter needs to be oiled, which is a very important link in the manufacture of lighters. Liquid petroleum gas is the fuel used in lighters, and attention should be paid to the proportion control and oil filtration during the oil injection process.

Assembly. After filling with oil, the lighter needs to go through multiple assembly processes, including the assembly of mechanical parts, fuse tubes, stone cores, shells, etc. These small parts require delicate assembly.

Acceptance. After the assembly is completed, a strict quality inspection is required to check whether every detail meets the requirements, especially the ease of operation, sealing, spark strength and stiffness.

Packaging. After passing the quality inspection, the lighter can be packaged, including containers, plastic bags, packaging boxes, etc. All types of lighters have their own packaging standards, but the unified purpose is to ensure the integrity of the lighter and avoid damage and damage during transportation.
