In all industries, there is a common practice. Before a mold order is placed, at least three quotation from different mold maker are on costumer’s desk. So your mold price must be competitive with that quoted by other mold makers.

I think it is not enough for providing a suitable mold quotation, but what is a suitable mold quotation? I want to say there are too many things which should be addressed before going into the mold quotation. Could you tell me what they are?

when you receive a part drawing, including it’s CAD model, it’s request for mold quotation from a customer, congratulation! You will have a chance to do a new project.
