Small Batch Production FAQs
What is small batch production, and why is it beneficial?
Small batch production refers to manufacturing a limited quantity of products, typically ranging from a few dozen to a few thousands units. It’s ideal for prototyping, market testing, and special projects where large quantities are unnecessary. This approach helps reduce costs, speeds up time to market, and offers flexibility.
What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for small batch production?
Our minimum order quantity is flexible depending on the project. We can accommodate orders as low as 1000 units while still maintaining competitive pricing and quality.
What industries can benefit from small batch production?
Small batch production is valuable in industries such as medical devices, Instrument device, automotive components, and startups. It supports businesses looking for custom parts, specialized products, or limited-edition runs.
How long does it take to complete a small batch production order?
Lead times vary depending on the complexity of the part and materials. However, we typically deliver within 1-2 weeks from order confirmation, ensuring both speed and quality.
What materials can you work with for small batch production?
We specialize in various plastics such as ABS, PA 66, and PC, and also offer customized material options based on your project needs, including high-performance resins for specific applications.
Is small batch production cost-effective?
Yes, it can be very cost-effective, especially when compared to larger production runs with unused inventory. Small batch production allows you to reduce upfront costs, avoid excess stock, and minimize risks.
How do you ensure quality in small batch production?
We follow stringent quality control procedures, including in-process inspections and final testing, to ensure every part meets the required standards. Our factory is ISO-certified, and we utilize high-precision injection molding machine.
Can you assist with design changes or optimization during the production process?
Absolutely. Our team of experienced engineers can collaborate with you to optimize designs for manufacturability, quality, and cost efficiency, ensuring that your small batch production meets your exact specifications.
Can I order multiple variations or designs in a single batch?
Yes, we offer flexibility in production and can accommodate multiple variations within the same batch. This is particularly useful for testing different designs or creating product variants.
What are the payment terms for small batch production?
We typically offer flexible payment terms depending on your project . A deposit is usually required before production begins, with the remaining balance due upon order completion or shipment.
Do you offer rapid prototyping along with small batch production?
Yes, we provide rapid prototyping services to help you finalize designs before moving into small batch production. This ensures that any adjustments are made early, saving time and costs down the line.
