Calculation of injection molding quotation method at Proto-mold

The calculation of injection molding quotation is a complex and specialized process. To accurately arrive at a quote, you need to consider a number of factors, including material costs, tooling costs, equipment depreciation, labor costs, taxes, and other potential expenses. Below, we will explore in detail how to calculate the injection molding quotation.

First of all, the material cost is an important part of the injection molding process quotation. This includes plastic raw materials, masterbatches, additives, etc. Material costs are subject to market fluctuations, so suppliers need to pay close attention to changes in raw material prices in order to adjust quotations in a timely manner. At the same time, the quality and choice of materials will also have an impact on the quotation. High-quality materials are usually more expensive, but can provide better product performance and stability.

Secondly, the mold cost is a cost that can not be ignored in the injection molding process. Mold design and manufacturing need to invest a lot of human and material resources, so its cost is often higher. The complexity of the mold, size, accuracy requirements and other factors will affect its price. When choosing a mold, customers need to weigh the cost-effectiveness of the mold according to their product needs and expected output.

In addition, equipment depreciation is also one of the factors that need to be considered when calculating the injection molding quotation. The purchase and maintenance of injection molding machines, auxiliary equipment and surrounding supporting facilities require investment. The depreciation costs of these devices are spread over each processing order, affecting the quotation. The performance of the equipment, the degree of old and new, and the state of maintenance will have an impact on the depreciation expense.

Labor cost is an important part of injection molding quotation. This includes salaries and benefits for operators, technicians, quality inspectors, etc. Labor costs are affected by factors such as region, industry, and enterprise size. When calculating the quotation, the supplier needs to reasonably assess the human resources required and ensure that the staffing can meet the production needs.

When calculating the injection molding quotation, the supplier also needs to consider a certain profit margin. This is to safeguard the sustainable development and profitability of the enterprise. Reasonable profit margins can help enterprises cope with the challenges of market fluctuations, technological innovation and personnel training.
