Is the Cost of Injection Molded Plastic Parts High?

injection molded plastic parts

The cost of injection molded plastic parts needs to be judged comprehensively based on specific factors. Its cost is affected by molds, materials, equipment, processes and other aspects. The following is a detailed analysis:

1. Mold cost

The production of injection molds requires multiple links such as design, processing, and assembly, and the cost is relatively high. Mold cost is an important part of the cost of injection molded parts. In the production process, in order to reduce costs, multiple cycles of injection molding are usually used to make full use of the service life of the mold. In addition, factors such as the complexity of the mold, the size of the area, and the thickness of the material will affect the price of the injection mold, and then affect the cost of injection molded plastic parts.

2. Material cost

The price of plastic materials is affected by factors such as market supply and demand and raw material costs, and the price fluctuates greatly. Different plastic materials have different properties and prices. Choosing the right material is crucial to controlling the cost of injection molded parts. For example, plastics with high performance or special needs are naturally more expensive.

3. Equipment cost

The higher the tonnage of the injection molding machine, the higher the cost, but in order to meet the needs of large or high-pressure plastic parts, sometimes more expensive equipment has to be selected. In addition, equipment depreciation, energy consumption, and maintenance costs are also part of the cost. The costs of different models, brands and types of injection molding machines are different, which directly affects the cost of injection molded parts.

4. Process cost

Complex product design will increase the difficulty and cost of production. Some products have complex structures. Although the weight of the product is not heavy, the mold structure is complex, which means that it must be processed on a larger machine, so the processing cost is also higher. The output of multi-cavity molds is larger, so the average processing fee per product is lower, but the mold manufacturing cost of multi-cavity molds will be very high.

The larger the production scale, the lower the unit product cost. The larger the quantity, the lower the unit processing price.

The shorter the cycle time, the higher the production efficiency, and the lower the unit cost. The control of defective rate is the key to reducing costs. Every defective product is an additional consumption of materials and manpower.

If the injection molded plastic parts need to be surface treated, such as spraying, silk screen, electroplating, hot stamping, etc., the corresponding cost will also increase.

5. Labor cost

The salary of operators, quality inspectors, maintenance personnel, and their training costs are all part of the cost. Skilled workers can reduce waste, improve efficiency, and save the company a lot of money.

Qingdao Xueyu Molding Products Co., Ltd. is mainly engaged in the design and manufacturing of injection molds, injection molding and secondary processing (spraying, pad printing, ultrasonic welding, stamping), etc. For more information about injection molded plastic parts, please contact us.
