Why is the mold cost of glass bottles so expensive?

08-07-2023

The mold cost of glass bottles is related to the bottle type, size, and production quantity. A small bottle does not mean that the mold fee is cheap because the minimum order quantity for small bottles is large, so the number of molds used is higher. For example, the mold fee for a beer bottle production line can reach over 10000 US dollars.

 

Some molds can only be produced with one set, but this method has advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that the cost for customers is lower, and the disadvantage is that the quality of glass bottles sometimes cannot keep up.

Some customers may question why we quote $5000 for the mold fee, which is only $500 quoted by others. Our company uses fully automatic machine molds to produce bottles with balanced quality and guaranteed quality. If only one mold is used for production, the bottles produced during the production process include products from your company as well as those from other companies. The thickness of the bottle body is uneven, and the bottom thickness is uneven. The finished product produced differs greatly from what was expected, and matching the lid is also a troublesome matter, with varying caliber sizes.
