Injection Mold Maker: Learn How to Qualify a Good Partner


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.
