If you are planning your next project of plastic injeciton molding,please consider below information,it could be helpful for you have a general idea.
TOOLING DESIGN FOR INJECTION MOLDING

Standard molds are defined by the Plastics Industry Association (formerly known as the Society of Plastics Industry or SPI). These mold standards are categorized into five classifications to guide quotes and orders into uniform mold types:

Cycles

Production level

Uses

Investment

Class 101 Mold

1 million or more

Extremely high

Extremely high production and fast cycle times

Class 101 molds are the highest priced and made with only the highest quality materials

Class 102 Mold

Not exceeding 1 million

Medium to high

Good for parts with abrasive materials and/or tight tolerances

Class 102 molds are fairly high priced and made with materials of high quality

Class 103 Mold

Not exceeding 500,000

Medium

A very popular mold for low to medium production parts

Class 103 molds fall within common price ranges

Class 104 Mold

Not exceeding 100,000

Low

Good for limited-production parts with non-abrasive materials

Class 104 molds fall within low to moderate price ranges

Class 105 Mold

Not exceeding 500

Very low

Prototype only

Class 105 molds are built inexpensively to produce a very limited number of product prototypes

Raw material impact the Injection molding cost

Material selection is another consideration in determining what plastic injection molds cost. Any plastic product made from fiberglass filled material, for example, will wear down most common molds. Only a mold made from hardened tool steel can withstand injection molding with fiberglass filled material.

Planning your next project

If you have a target price established for your parts, tell your mold builder. They can design the mold accordingly and plan for the right number of cavities to achieve that price. The more cavities (or parts made per cycle), the less expensive the parts will be, also allowing for higher output.

While you don’t need to know every detail about the types of molds available, it’s always a good idea to come prepared. Supplying the basics to your mold builder will help them build the best tool for your project. We recommend that you find a mold maker who also has production capabilities. The company running the production won’t want to build an inadequate mold because they know they have to use it.

And if you’re thinking of outsourcing your mold making, take into consideration all of the factors.
