About > Costs
The major advantages which rotational moulding has over other moulding processes are:
- Lower cost tooling compared to Injection or Blow moulding
- Greater flexibility in batch quantity size allowing smaller runs without substantial cost penalties
- Short lead times
- Economically produced large products
- Minimum design constraints
- Facility to alter prototypes without incurring major cost
- An endless range of colours
Costs compared to other industries
The versatility of rotationally moulded products means we are frequently able to offer customers, currently using alternatives such as metal fabrications or glass fibre laminated products, a cost-effective and often, a more manageable solution.
It is especially useful where:
- test marketing calls for an initial short run
- the product is not fully developed and requires quick and easy modification
- weight is an issue
- corrosion proofing is required which a metal alternative cannot meet
- permanent colour required
Key benefits
