How much does it cost to open a silicone mold and what depends?

Now that the customer wants to make a silicone product, first of all they will ask how much it costs to open a set of such silicone mold? Our business is not able to provide accurate prices. Customers need to provide 3D graphics files, review on the engineering side, and ask customers for an accurate price. To reduce costs for customers, first consider letting customers open sample molds. The price is lower than that of bulk molds. The sample mold change confirmation cannot achieve the expected effect, the sample mold can reduce the loss, the bulk mold is the mold issued after the sample confirmation

  Here is a detailed explanation of how silicone molds provide customers with quotations:

   Firstly customers must provide 3D graphics files or samples of customized silicone products, otherwise the price and product structure cannot be accurately quoted based on a flat picture.

There are two types of silicone product molds:

  One is a vulcanization mold, which is a pressing mold. It is often used as a button or a layer of soft cushion under the button. This kind of mold is not expensive. After pressing the mold according to the number of mold holes, it is torn off by hand. Each product
The second is the injection mold, which is LSR, which belongs to liquid injection. The mold requires high processing accuracy, and the mold must be insulated, and insulation boards must be added between the templates. The gap and accuracy cannot exceed 0.01mm. The injection machine must be modified accordingly. This kind of mold is of course more expensive than general injection molds.

How much does it cost to open a silicone mold?

   We first need to evaluate the cost of a silicone product mold, which may be affected by different processes and materials used in production. With the continuous development of the silicone mold product production industry, the production technology in this industry is getting higher and higher. , The production process is further improved, so as to save the cost of silica gel, the price of silica gel mold will also be reasonably evaluated, and a preferential price will be given to customers
The cost of opening the silicone mold will be quoted as follows:

1. The opening of the silicone mold generally requires the customer's product size calculation, material consumption and loss, plus labor and technology cost calculation.

2. It depends on how easy it is for customers to make molds. Generally speaking, the more complex the mold, the higher the cost.

3. The mold opening time for silicone products is generally 5-10 days. The specific mold opening of silicone products depends on the structure of the silicone mold, and the processing time of the silicone product molds of different structures is different. The specific delivery date should be determined with the manufacturer
