It is not difficult
to find an injection mold maker—the
challenge for most manufacturers is finding the right provider to partner
with—one that can meet their production requirements, budget restrictions, and
timelines. Populating your list of potential service providers is easy
enough—narrowing it down to the perfect supplier is often what slows down the
selection process. Here are some things that you should keep in mind while
trying to qualify a good injection mold maker and partner:
1. Look for a manufacturer that has experience in producing parts with
quality control tolerances that also match your parts needs. Not all injection
mold makers can hit the tolerances you desire. Reviewing past projects of
theirs will help you qualify the tightness of their work.
2. Choose a manufacturer that receives high praise from their clients. Look
at their ratings and reviews to see what other clients are saying about certain
manufacturers and to know what you can expect out of them once you sign your
contract.
3. Make sure that the manufacturer you choose follows international quality
standards but also quiz them to make sure they understand product safety,
packaging and labeling regulations.
4. Look for a reputable company that maintains transparency throughout all
your transactions. Reputable companies will not hesitate to provide you all the
documentations you need to prove their service quality and the legitimacy of
their business.
5. Choose a company with reasonable MOQ (Minimum Order Quantity) so you
don’t have to be forced to buy more units of a particular part than you
actually need. What options for production runs do they have? Are they willing
to store product for you? How quickly can they turn around a production run if
you get a quick order?
There are many
other factors that should come into play when choosing the right manufacturer
for your production needs. Ask about their manufacturing capabilities and
delivery speed and be clear about payment terms before making a final choice.
