Understanding the Numbers
Amortized Mold Cost
The mold cost spread across all parts over the mold's lifetime. Higher volumes and longer mold life reduce this per-part adder significantly.
Gross Margin
The percentage of selling price that represents profit after deducting all production and amortized mold costs. Target 40%+ for healthy margins.
Return on Investment (ROI)
Total lifetime profit as a percentage of total investment (mold + production costs). Higher ROI means better use of capital.
Breakeven Volume
The number of parts you need to sell before the mold investment is recovered. Lower is better. Compare this to your first year volume projection.
Reduce Your Costs
Save 30 to 50% on Mold Tooling
Those margins could look even better with offshore tooling. Let us show you how China sourcing can dramatically improve your per-part economics.
