Factors Affecting the Cost of Custom Soft Plastic Molds

The cost of custom soft plastic molds is affected by many factors, and the price range is large, ranging from a few thousand yuan to hundreds of thousands of yuan or even higher. The following are some factors that affect the cost:

1. Mold specifications: The larger the size of the plastic mold, the higher the price is generally. For example, a small plastic mold with a diameter of 10 cm may only cost a few thousand yuan, while a large mold with a diameter of more than 50 cm may requires an investment of tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands.

2. Material quality: Commonly used plastic mold materials include aluminum alloy, steel, copper, etc. Different material qualities will affect the durability, stability, precision, and processing difficulty of the mold. Therefore, the price of high-quality mold materials is generally higher.

3. Production process: The production process of custom soft plastic molds is more complicated, including multiple links such as design, processing and debugging, and requires a series of professional equipment and technicians. Therefore, the price is also affected by the production process.

4. Product complexity: The size and shape of the product affect the size and structure of the plastic mold, which has a great relationship with the mold cost. The product's requirements for size and appearance will also affect the processing cost.

5. Number of mold cavities: If the product size is not large, there is a requirement for the number of mold cavities, that is, how many products can be produced by opening and closing the mold at a time, one at a time or multiple at a time, then the complexity of mold processing and the materials used are also different, which will also affect the price of plastic molds.

6. Production volume expectations: The expected production volume of plastic products determines the service life of the mold. If the product is expected to have a high production volume and you want to save costs and make the plastic mold have a longer service life, then the materials used to process the plastic mold must be better, and the mold price will be higher.
