How to Start a Custom Silicone Product Project With a Factory

Here is something most buyers do not realize until they have placed three or four orders. How to Start a Custom Silicone Product Project With a Factory matters more than most people think. We learned this the hard way, over years of working with brands across 30+ countries.

Our Approach

Here is what we need from you to give an accurate quote: drawings or samples, target annual volume, material requirements, and any compliance standards. Send us just a picture and a vague description, and you will get a vague quote back. The more specific you are upfront, the fewer surprises later.

Where Things Go Wrong

Mold costs are the part of the conversation nobody likes. A typical silicone mold runs from $800 to $5,000 depending on size and complexity. The good news is that once the mold is paid for, it is yours. We keep molds for five years minimum, and many clients are still running parts from molds we built a decade ago.

There is no substitute for experience in this business. We have made enough mistakes over the years to know what to watch for, and we pass that knowledge on to every client. Lemeng Silicone offers full OEM and ODM services with the kind of quality control that gives you confidence in every shipment.
