What Components Make Up the Plastic Injection Molding Cost

The plastic injection molding cost mainly consists of the following parts:

1. Raw material cost:

Plastic raw material cost: The required plastic raw materials are calculated based on the size, weight, and quantity of the product, and multiplied by the unit price of the plastic raw materials. This usually accounts for over 60% of injection molding costs and is influenced by market fluctuations, supply and demand conditions, material types, processing accuracy, and other factors.

Additive cost: Some injection molded products require the addition of additives such as pigments, anti-aging agents, plasticizers, etc. The cost is calculated based on the amount and unit price of the additives.

Waste cost: During the injection molding process, a certain amount of waste and waste will be generated. The cost is calculated based on the weight of the waste and the recycling rate.

2. Equipment cost:

The cost of purchasing or renting equipment: The price and performance of injection molding equipment are closely related, and high-end equipment has more stable performance and higher efficiency.

Electricity and water costs: Injection molding equipment consumes electricity and water resources during operation, and their costs need to be included in the cost.

Maintenance costs: The longer the equipment runs, the faster the depreciation rate, and the more maintenance costs enterprises need.

3. Labor cost:

Salary: calculated based on the worker's working hours, work intensity, and salary standards.

Welfare expenses: including social security fees, housing provident fund, labor union fees, etc. Labor costs typically account for over 15% of injection molding costs.

4. Processing cost:

Power consumption cost: Calculate the power consumption cost of injection molding products based on the energy consumption and electricity price of injection molding equipment.

Mechanical processing cost: For some products with high processing difficulty, mechanical processing or secondary processing may be required. The mechanical processing cost is calculated based on factors such as processing time, processing difficulty, and worker wages.

5. Other costs:

Equipment depreciation: The cost of a decrease in the value of injection molding equipment due to its age or wear and tear during use.

Logistics costs: including packaging and transportation costs.

Management expenses: Management, administrative, and other expenses related to injection molding production.
