Required Information For Injection Mold Quotations

When seeking a quote for injection mold tooling, providing detailed and precise information in your Request for Quote (RFQ) is crucial for obtaining an accurate and comprehensive estimate. At Decatur Mold, we specialize in tool and plastic molding solutions, and we understand that clarity at this stage can streamline the process and prevent potential issues down the line.

Essential Information for Injection Mold RFQs

  2. Material Specifications: Indicate the type of plastic resin or material you plan to use. Different materials have varying properties and processing needs, which can affect mold design and cost.

  3. Production Volume: Provide an estimate of your expected production volume. Whether it's low-volume runs or high-volume manufacturing, this information is crucial for selecting the appropriate mold type and material.

  4. Timeline Requirements: Outline your desired project timeline. Understanding your schedule helps us plan the mold design and manufacturing process to meet your deadlines.
