    Ok so i have an idea for a product made of plastic its only small and would be very easy to manufacture.However i obviously cannot buy a factory and all the equipment to make it.So i was wondering how i would go about getting it produced in china.Is there any websites any one can link me too or can anyone give me some advice on this matter.
    Thanks

    cost are cheap per unit in china but initial mold costs can still be high ..depends on qty you want produced as to wether the overll costs work out

    if the mold costs $1500 , but you ony want 20 it oes makes sense , but you want 10,000 ..you end up with a decent overall cost price

    PM meif you have any question

    Why do you think you must have it produced in a country halfway across the world?

    Good luck finding a place that will do less than a container load.

    IF your selling the stuff in China fine...

    But if your exporting it back to the US well... Everyone seems to forget that time is money and inventory is money and those can start to out-weight the cheaper cost per piece.

    If you source halfway across the world your going to have to deal in huge volumes (container load), carry larger inventories than neccesary and its going to take time for the boat to make it across the ocean.
