Several factors that affect the cost of mold processing?

I often encounter customer feedback why the products are similar, but the mold fee will have a significant price difference. This is also a problem that plagues many companies or purchases. Below we will list several important factors that affect the cost of the mold, for your reference only.

1. Material cost: Steel is generally used as the material of the mold.

Different steel models will directly affect the cost of molds. For example, steel materials with softer materials will be cheaper, and steel materials with harder models will be more expensive. Due to material reasons, the use time of processed molds for soft steel materials is relatively short. Similarly, molds with a short use cycle are not suitable for the production of large quantities of products. The cost of steel with good material hardness and quality is relatively high, but the use cycle of the processed mold will be longer, which will reduce the cost of the product.

2. Process difficulty.

The process difficulty will determine the processing cost of the mold. For the same product, the cost of making a one-out one and one-out two or one-out four molds will have a significant difference. The more difficult the process, the higher the number of holes, the higher the processing cost of the mold.

3. Equipment depreciation.

If it is a new mold processing equipment, there will be more depreciation on each set of molds, but the accuracy of the molds processed by the new equipment also has its own advantages.

4. Labor cost.

This is very simple. The salary of a skilled technician must be about the salary of a technician who lacks the skill. The same mold is processed by different technicians, and the results will be different.

Dongguan Zhanyi Commodity Technology Co., Ltd. currently has 44 single-color injection molding machines of different tonnage and 6 dual-color injection molding machines of 360 tonnage. At the same time, it has a mold department and more than 50 sets of various plastic mold processing equipment.
