KNOW THE RISKS
Once you have an idea or design for your plastic injection moulded product, the next step is to find a tool maker. Due to high labour costs in Australia, the majority of tooling is made overseas, commonly in countries such as China. It is just not economical to have tooling made locally.
So, seems easy enough. Find a tool maker in China (A google search will show you that these companies are in abundance) and away you go.... Unfortunately it is not that simple. There are many risks involved, which we have learned the hard way over the 10 years of dealing with Chinese tool makers. |
