What factors should be included in the cost calculation of molded products?
The cost of molded products is mainly reflected from design to shipping, including mold cost, molding cost, etc. Let me list the main costs in an injection part project, to give you an instruction on how to calculate the approximate cost of the plastic parts.
1. Injection mold. Injection molds are one of the two major factors which influence the product cost.
2. Raw material. The raw material is another factor that controls the product cost. Due to the steep increase of the raw material, the product costs have also increased.
3. Injection molding costs. Injection molding costs have lots of content, such as mold cavity, labor cost, injection cycle.
4. Secondary processing. For instance: electroplating and silkscreen.
5. Packing cost.
6. Transportation. Transportation refers to the delivery to the location designated by the customer or the port instructed by the customer overseas.
7. Other expenses.
From the above information, it is easy to see that choosing the right mold and material is the key to controlling the product cost. Before the project starts, we must know the actual requirements of the product, to decide which injection mold and material we will adopt.
