Hello, my name is Gilad,

I would like to have a general Idea of how to find out what is the most suitable plastic compound for producing a small plastic charm,

I enclose an Image demonstrates the material I’m looking for (probably it would be more meaningful for those who are familiar with Mini-Winni mobile phone charms…)

Thank you very much,

Gilad

Welcome to PF, Gilad.
Can you be a bit more specific as to the construction of your item? I can't tell from the picture whether it's one piece of plastic that's painted, or several coloured pieces put together. Also, is it to be solid or flexible?
 
Thank you for replying :)

It is one molded plastic part which is then painted in several colors. I've included two pictures for demonstration. I hope this will help better.

Thanks,
Gilad
