molds for plastic products

The lists should keep you from using a mold thats too small for your product. On the other hand, if your mold is too large, you will find that it does not properly hold your product. Getting that mix right is key to producing a great product.

They can also be pricy compared to some of the other options. While the aluminum molds cost less, their durability may be shorter than that of steel. Before you decide, however, the costs and benefits of each material should be considered.
