Part Cost Factors
MATERIAL SELECTION
The plastic material must meet all of the application’s physical and chemical requirements while being manufacturable in the part design.
ORDER QUANTITY
Higher volumes reduce cost in two ways: lower material pricing and setup costs spread across more parts.
LABOR CONTENT
Our goal is to minimize labor content and part cost by automating the process where it makes sense.
PACKAGING
Getting the product safely to you or the end user is factored into overall cost.
CAVITIES
More cavities in the mold generally reduces part cost — especially important for higher-volume applications.
SECONDARY OPERATIONS
Some parts require special packaging, assembly or kitting after molding, which adds to the total part cost.
PRODUCTION RATE
Part design and material selection affect how quickly the part can be molded. Since machine time is charged by the hour, faster cycle times mean lower part pricing.

Mold Cost Factors
MOLD STRATEGY
Part volume, design complexity, tolerances, surface finish, gating and material all influence the right mold approach. For smaller, simpler parts, a less expensive mold insert may be a cost-effective option.
MOLD SIZE
Larger and deeper parts require bigger molds, which generally increases cost. How a large part is gated can also significantly affect mold size and price.
NUMBER OF CAVITIES
The right number of cavities is driven by expected volume, mold cost, part cost and lead time. Our pricing model helps determine the best balance for your project.

Full-Width Background, Boxed-Width Foreground
Use this feature when the background color needs to extend outside the boxed-width of the container.
Create a Kadence Row that is Align > Full-Width. Give that Kadence Row the background color.
To the Row’s Section, add the CSS class “container”. Then Add content into the section.
The background should extend the full width of the screen, but the content should be boxed into
the width of the website container.
Alternatively, in the Kadence row, enable “Inherit max width from theme”. This also boxes the content.
