When looking to outsource overseas for Plastic Injection Molds or Stamping Dies there are many things to consider.
Usually price is the first thing to be looked at, that’s probably why you’re looking overseas for a new mold or die source-to save money.

Large labour forces and low wages can get your job done quickly and cheaply. Or so you think.
When doing business in China you may encounter several common problems:
- communication problems: language barriers, different terminologies, engineers with little or poor English skills
- cultural differences: East and West business practices can be very different which often leads to misunderstandings, mistakes, poor quality, and delays.
- empty promises: sometimes the shops you will find can’t deliver what you need when you need it, they just don’t have the technology or resources to provide you with the quality you are looking for, many countries have poor infrastructure with communication failures and can’t make the delivery as promised.
- most shops in China are small and cannot do a wide variety of jobs, they may not be able to do everything you need for all your projects, you’ll end up looking for other shops for each different project. They may not be able to provide you with after sales maintenance and services.
- quality certifications: getting ISO certified is an expensive and time consuming process, many shops in China just aren’t qualified, they don’t have quality control programs, they don’t have the proper technology or experience to produce the products according to your exact specifications and timetable.
