Many oversea buyers intend to send their inquiries to a bunch of Chinese plastic injection mold makers<\/a> before they placed order to one of them, choices sometimes just simply made base on price. If you are lucky enough, you could probably get a qualified molded product at the cheapest price. But what about the next time? Your business success should not be hanging on odds.<\/p>\n

Whenever you get a quotation from a China mould supplier<\/a>, you better have your own sense to estimate if it’s competitive or reasonable or it’s over-charged. It’s very much necessary to understand the actual mold price in China<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Cost of a plastic molded part includes raw material, injection molding, labor cost, packing, transportation, management, and profit. Let \u2018s get into each items one by one.<\/p>\n

Raw materials analysis<\/strong>
\nRaw materials cost = unit weight + runner weight \/cavities + waste ratio, total weight x raw material price.
\nWaste ratio takes 1-3% usually while the injection mold<\/a> is cold runner design. It’s much lower if your mold use hot runner.<\/p>\n

Injection molding machine analysis<\/strong>
\nInjection molding machine cost = machine molding price\/24h\/3600s * molding cycle time.
\nDifferent machine have different price base on capacity. Let’s see a few examples, 50Ton, 0.3 RMB\/minute, 80 Ton, 0.5RMB \/ minute.<\/p>\n

Labor cost estimation<\/strong>
\nProduction in China usually is not automatically and need to have worker to do oil cleaning, pick-up, packing etc. Currently each worker (not technician) costs 30 RMB\/hour.<\/p>\n

Packing cost analysis<\/strong>
\nThis cost would depend on the packing way you agreed with your plastic mold manufacturer.<\/p>\n

Transportation cost analysis<\/strong>
\nDepends on what kind of delivery term you agreed with supplier. Basically this is the cost of your plastic parts, supplier will add a certain amount profit and management cost on it, you can decide now on your own if the price they offered is worth it or not.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
