The Critical Factors of Plastc Injection Mold Price

Mold price is related with many factors, normally it affected by below important factors:

mould material ‌ : The cost of mould material is one of the important factors to determine the price of mould. High-quality mold materials can improve the service life and production efficiency of the mold, but it will also increase the price of the mold. For example, the use of stainless steel or aluminum alloy and other materials to make molds, its price is higher than the use of ordinary steel ‌.

‌ design ‌ : The complexity of mold design will also affect the price. Complex designs require higher manufacturing costs and longer manufacturing cycles, so the price will increase accordingly ‌.

‌ Dimensions ‌ : The size of the mold is one of the factors affecting the price. Large molds require more materials and processing time, so the price will increase accordingly ‌.

‌ Precision tolerance requirements ‌ : high-precision molds require higher manufacturing costs and longer manufacturing time, so the price will increase accordingly ‌.

‌ expected production ‌ : The expected production determines the material choice of the mold, which affects the price. Molds with large production volumes usually use more durable materials and have a higher cost ‌.

‌ product size and shape ‌ : the size and shape complexity of the product directly affect the mold structure and manufacturing difficulty, thus affecting the price ‌.

‌ requirements on size and appearance ‌ : high requirements on size and appearance of products will increase the difficulty and cost of processing ‌.

‌ Requirements on the number of cavity of the mold ‌ : the number of products produced by the mold at a time will also affect the price, usually the cost of the mold with more cavity is higher ‌.

‌ manufacturing process ‌ : different manufacturing processes (such as CNC machining and mirror EDM, low speed wire cutting machining ) have different costs and are suitable for different mold manufacturing needs ‌.

Runner system: the hot runner mold is much expensive than the cold runner plastic injection mold .

‌ cost of mold repair ‌ : Changes may be required during mold manufacturing to optimize product output. These modifications will incur additional costs ‌.

‌ regional differences ‌ : Manufacturing cost differences in different regions will also affect the pricing of molds. For example, manufacturing costs in China are generally lower than in high-cost regions such as Europe and the United States ‌. China Guangdong area price is higher than Zhejiang price, because Guangdong mold quality is much higher. 

‌ the service life of the mold ‌ : mold design for long-term or short-term use will also affect the cost, long-term use of the mold usually use more durable materials and higher standards of manufacturing processes.

‌ degree of standardization ‌ : the degree of standardization of the mold will also affect the price, standard mold is usually lower than the cost of non-standard mold ‌. customer stardard different, the mold price are different. 

‌ mold standard parts and auxiliary materials ‌ : the cost of standard parts and auxiliary materials used in the mold is also included in the total quotation ‌. Well know brand mold components is higher price.
