For testing and prototyping, purchasing stock compression springs is your best option. This is because running a small batch of several different compression springs means several different compression spring manufacturing set ups which implies several manufacturing set up charges. When buying stock compression springs at The Spring Store, you may buy small quantities of several compression springs without the additional manufacturing set up fee.

We also offer several additional characteristics to our stock compression springs which include the variations of material (or wire) types, type of ends, and several plating (or finish) options.
