  1. What is the minimum order quantity for rotational molding?

Great question! We typically require a minimum of 250-500 parts per year, depending on the size and complexity of the product. But here’s the thing—we don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. We happily support customers with 500 parts a year or 50,000 parts a year (or anywhere in between!). Let’s talk and see how we can make it work for you.

  1. What is your lead time for rotational molding projects?

We know you’re eager to get your product into the world, and we’re just as excited to make that happen! Here’s what you can expect:

  • New tooling: 4-6 weeks (depending on specialized materials and components lead time, quality approval process, etc)
  • Existing tool transfers: 3-4 weeks (depending on the same factors mentioned above)
  • Production runs: 2-4 weeks after tooling approval

We work hard to balance speed and quality because at the end of the day, we want your parts to be perfect, not rushed.
