Buying tips

## Buy it with confidence.

What experienced buyers put in the RFQ and check on arrival.

  * Agree mould ownership, steel grade and guaranteed shot life before paying for tooling.
  * Name the resin grade and ask for the resin datasheet and lot certificate.
  * Approve colour and texture against a physical master under agreed lighting.

Plastics & rubber moulding questions

[anirudh@sourcesquid.co](mailto:anirudh@sourcesquid.co)

### How long does an injection mould take in India?

A single-cavity production mould typically takes 4–8 weeks, with T1 samples soon after. Multi-cavity and hot-runner tools take longer.

### Can Indian moulders match Mold-Tech or VDI textures?

Yes. Specialist texturing shops apply the texture to the mould, and moulders match standard Mold-Tech and VDI 3400 references.

### Can I use recycled plastic?

Yes. Many moulders process recycled PP and HDPE, especially for pallets and crates. Specify the recycled content and ask for traceability documents.
