On the surface, choosing the lowest bidder might seem like a smart move – but the wrong molder can cost you far more in the long run.
Here’s what can go wrong:
1. Delayed timelines due to poor scheduling or machine downtime
If jobs aren’t scheduled realistically or machines go down unexpectedly, production backs up, ship dates slip, and you end up paying overtime or expediting to catch up.
2. High scrap rates from inconsistent processes
When process settings aren’t consistent or documented, you get more bad parts (warpage, flash, shorts, etc.), wasting resin, machine time, and labor.
3. Mold damage due to improper handling
Improper lifting, storage, or setup of molds can cause damage to cavities, parting lines, or alignment, leading to expensive repairs and unplanned downtime.
4. Regulatory issues if quality documentation is lacking
Missing inspection records, material certs, or traceability can cause failed audits, shipment holds, or even recalls—hurting both cash flow and reputation.
