Low MOQ Custom Silicone Molds — Starting From 20 Per Design

For applicable custom RTV silicone mold projects, RUUIPON’s production MOQ starts from 20 molds per approved design after prototype/design approval.

This route is useful for brands validating a new shape, logo, cavity weight or production workflow without committing to a much larger first mold quantity.

The 20-piece MOQ does not apply automatically to finished HCR/HTV products, LSR components or metal-tool programs. Those are quoted according to their process.

Start With a Prototype

Do Not Multiply an Unapproved Cavity

The safer sequence is:

1. confirm design
2. create/approve CAD if needed
3. make prototype
4. validate the real application
5. approve revision
6. place production quantity

This is especially important for:

• gummy target weight
• chocolate logo/finish
• resin demolding
• figurine split lines
• candle support
• fit-sensitive molds

A small first production order still requires:

• design/DFM
• master/tool development
• prototype
• finishing
• QC
• packing

Low MOQ reduces inventory commitment; it does not eliminate development work.

If production-ready CAD does not exist, simple 3D modeling is typically around USD 50 when the scope is straightforward.

Complex sculpting, reverse engineering and multi-part development are quoted separately.

A straightforward 3D design + prototype is typically about 3–5 days after required information is approved.

Small RTV production may be about 2–3 days after prototype approval when the project/quantity allows.

Complex molds or other manufacturing processes require project-specific schedules.

Good fit:

• new branded mold launch
• seasonal/limited SKU
• prototype-to-first-production transition
• small craft/food brand
• buyer testing a production workflow
• replacement/reorder of an approved mold design

Can I order only one prototype before the 20-piece production MOQ?

Yes. Prototype-first is the recommended route.

If I have 5 different designs, is that 20 total?

MOQ should be confirmed per design/project. Do not assume different designs can always be combined into one MOQ.

Can I start from a sample or photo?

Yes. Modeling/reverse-engineering scope is confirmed before work begins.

Is MOQ 20 for LSR or HCR products?

No.

Does low MOQ mean lower-quality material?

No. Material/process should still meet the project requirement.
