Finding a Good Commodity Mould Maker in China

by Jacob Williams Hqmould - Plastic Mould Factory

The term commodity mould refer to the molds that are developed to make items that are used regularly on a daily basis like the buckets, bins, plastic dishes, storage box, jug, water ladle flower pot, baby bathtub etc. this is in no way an exhaustive list. You would have a moulding solution for whatever commodity you are seeking the mould for.

How is it possible?

You can get plastic injection moulds for whatever commodity you envisage from the Mould Suppliers in China. However, you must understand that there are a number of suppliers in China and only a very few can supply moulds of all types. The others restrict themselves to specialize in one niche such as commodity products, automobile parts, home appliances so on and so forth. You also have big companies that carry out almost all processes that are required for making a product in-house like HQMould and yet others who might outsource certain processes which limits the control they have over the quality of the mould.

Important things you should consider while choosing the mould manufacturer

When you are about to choose the Plastic Injection Mould suppliers in China, it is important for you to take an account of the following aspects.

Language- The language barrier could mean the difference between getting a mould and a super mould especially with respect to commodity products. Therefore, it is important that you choose the supplier who is fluent in English to keep the communication line open and effective. That is how they would understand what you expect and you would get what you expect.

Price- This is a very important factor in choosing a supplier. But, with a number of suppliers in the Chinese market, there is likelihood for you to get confused with the price VS quality claims made by the suppliers. The use of better technology, manufacturing process and machine tools would sure increase the price. But, the price difference should not be exorbitant. You will be able to arrive at the right price if you have knowledge of molding. If you don’t you may use the quotes provided by a number of different suppliers to arrive at the reasonable price range.

Proper understanding- The supplier and plastic parts seeker relationship are generally long-lasting. The mould manufacturer must be open to suggestions from you as a mould seeker. He must be able to understand where you want the gates to be located, how many eject pins are required etc.

Knowledgeable- Choosing the right material and the process is important for making commodity products. The mould manufacturer should be knowledgeable enough to create the right mould as well as to suggest to you the right mould for the desired product. For this, they need to be up to date with the processes and materials.

Trial run report- The suppliers should be kind enough to pass on the injection moulding parameters and the sample of a trial run as it would be proof enough that the moulds are fit for standardized operations.

Choose supplier wisely to avoid disappointments later.
