| As a plastic injection molding company we are able to design and manufacture plastic
injection molding products to our customers’
specifications, produce new molds from their
CAD files, or reverse engineer plastic parts.
We have many different 3D design software
platforms to adapt to our customers’
system. The ability to reverse engineer
existing molds and molded parts allows us
to build new and improved for our customers. |

| The tables below give a rough idea of the
difference in cost when tooling and production
are done in China or in the US. Our engineers help find out the best solution for our
customers. |

| The table above should be used for approximations
only. We require 3D drawings to be able
to deliver our clients a firm quotation.
Lead times for tooling are approximately
4-6 weeks depending on the tool. Tools manufactured
in China, if brought to the US for production
will require an additional 4-6 weeks for
ocean freight, or one week for airfreight. |
|
| Basic tools in the table above are A-B
tools without more complicated features.
Complicated tools have a large range in
price because of the cost of features such
as hot runner systems, additional EDM features,
multi-cavity tools, slides and undercuts. |

General Rules:
These ratios are estimates only. The pricing
can very greatly with cavitation and the
complexity of the parts and second operations.
Second Operations can involve anything from
cleaning parts, overmolding, painting, drilling
holes, pad printing, screen printing, partial
sub-assemblies etc. Please call to get a
specific quote on your part. |

|
| Freight – The larger the parts become,
the more of a factor freight from China
becomes. Therefore, if parts cannot be |
|
| “nested” well medium and larger
parts become much more expensive in China |
|
| Volume – In general, China will not
run fewer than 5,000 pieces per run per
shipment. For less expensive parts, the
volume requirement may be much higher. |
|
| Lead Time – Production lead-time
is about 3-5 weeks for both US and China
production, but for freight, you must add
on 4-6 weeks if you manufacture in China.
Buying container loads will greatly reduce
your freight costs. |
