Liquid silicone products are mainly calculated from cost + profit, and the finished product price is quoted as how much per gram of this product is. The cost is mainly estimated based on the product's process and production speed.
As a customer service staff of a liquid silicone manufacturer, we receive a lot of inquiries every day. Inquiries are the main purpose for customers to come to us. So when customers inquire about the price of liquid silicone products, what kind of analysis should we conduct on them? What about the reply?
First of all, we need to understand the customer's demand for silicone products, because the demand involves the mold opening cost of the product. If the demand is small, we can choose small mold production, which can reduce part of the mold opening cost for customers, but the production of silicone products The efficiency will be correspondingly reduced a lot. When demand is high, in order to ensure production capacity and provide customers with the fastest delivery time, they usually negotiate with customers to open a large mold, and the cost of opening a large mold is relatively high.
Next, we also need to learn more about the exact size and related process flow of the silicone product, and then our professional silicone product quoters will evaluate and measure it. As we all know, the more processes involved in a silicone product, the more labor costs will increase, so its unit price will increase. It will also improve accordingly. When some customers do not understand the various processes of the product and think the price is a bit high, we need to give them detailed explanations. The prices of silicone products are also different for different processes.
