A buyer running a mid-volume production of 50,000 units for household storage bins typically goes with a single-cavity hot runner mold, and we price that sample run around $3,800—bulk orders for 500,000+ shots drop to roughly $2,400 per mold, give or take tooling complexity.

HW-2799 uses NAK80 or S136 for the cavity steel, with a mold base from FUTABA or LKM, and it handles ABS, PC, PP, nylon, POM, or PA—gate options include side, sub, pin point, fan, or direct, depending on your part geometry and flow requirement.

We've pushed these molds past 800,000 shots in automotive trim application before needing a polish, but they're not great for thin-wall parts under 0.8mm wall thickness—that's a limitation, and we usually advise running a quick COA check on first 50 parts to confirm cycle alignment.
Mirror polish or texture is standdard, and we design in UG or SolidWorks; mold life spans 100k to 1M shots base on matrial and maintenance schedule.

Lead time is 15-45 working days depending on cavity count and runner system—hot runner adds about 10 days, cold runner ships faster.

Basically, for bulk runs of indutrial or household parts in the 50-5000g range, this is tighter tolerance than most standard molds at this price point, so you'll want to confirm your MOQ and surface finish spec before we lock the design.
Our MOQ for these multi-cavity molds is typically 1 set, but we can discuss volume discounts if you're ordering multiple sets for different products.
Sure, we can swap to other steel grades if needed, but NAK80 and S136 are standard for their durability and polishability. Just let us know your specific requirements.
Yes, every mold ships with ISO9001 compliance documentation. We also include material certificates for the steel and mold base if requested.
It falls within the 15-45 working day window depending on complexity. For a standard multi-cavity hot runner mold, expect around 25-30 working days.
The HW-2799 is optimized for the 50-5000g range. For parts outside that, we'd need to adjust the design or recommend a different mold platform.
