Estimated tooling costs

These costs are based on basic product designs with no undercut or technical product features and have been calculated using a baseline grade of thermoplastics. We offer a range of pricing for different types of tooling in different cavitation, based on manufacture in the UK within our tooling facility. The referenced lead times are based on signing off approved manufacturing data for the product to be made.
