What Is Low Cost Injection Molding?

Low cost injection molding means reducing total project cost (tooling + parts) through smarter design, right-fit tooling, efficient processing, and material choices—without sacrificing basic dimensional control, appearance, and consistency.

If you’re searching for cheap injection molding, the real win isn’t “lowest price per part” on paper—it’s fewer redesigns, less scrap, and smoother ramp-up.

Best for: new product launches, revisions, and controlled budgets with realistic tolerances.

How We Achieve Low Cost Injection Molding

Why Our Injection Molding Services Are Cost-Effective

We carefully select the appropriate mold material for each project. For low- and mid-volume production, aluminum molds are a cost-effective choice, as they are easier and cheaper to machine than steel molds. Aluminum molds can save 5-30% on tooling costs for production runs of 500-10,000 parts, helping to reduce cost and speed up the process.

The part material and material chosen for your project directly impact mold design, tolerances, durability, and cost. Material selection accounts for approximately 50%–70% of total production costs in injection molding, with prices varying by resin type. We help you select the best material to balance performance and budget.

Our low pressure injection molding process is ideal for simpler parts, further reducing manufacturing expenses and supporting affordable injection molding.

We optimize production scheduling and leverage automation to minimize labor costs, setup time, and operator intervention, which helps reduce overall manufacturing expenses.

By choosing the right mold material and manufacturing process, such as aluminum molds or 3D printed molds, we can shorten lead time for prototypes and low-volume runs, which also helps reduce total cost.

Optimized Mold Design to Reduce Tooling Cost
Material Selection Based on Performance and Budget
Low Pressure Injection Molding for Simpler Parts
Efficient Production Scheduling to Minimize Waste
Lead Time Optimization

All these factors—mold material, part material, labor costs, and lead time—contribute to the total cost of your project. By making the right choices, we help you reduce cost and achieve low cost injection molding without compromising quality.

What Is the Cheapest Plastic to Injection Mold?

There’s no single “cheapest” resin for every part—because total cost depends on cycle time, scrap risk, durability needs, and availability. That said, these are commonly considered low cost injection molding materials:

  • PVC
  • PP (Polypropylene)
  • HDPE (Polyethylene)
  • LDPE (Polyethylene)
  • PS (Polystyrene)
  • HIPS
  • ABS
  • PET

PVC

PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) is affordable, durable and strong. It can withstand long hours of exposure to heat and direct flames. Its flexibility makes it a mainstay in construction and medical field applications, including window frames and IV bags.

Standard color options: Gray, white, clear, blue

PVC

PP (Polypropylene)

Polypropylene’s anti-fragile internal structure makes it great for frequently used products like hinges and containers. PP is resistant to chemicals and moisture and is very structurally flexible.

Standard color options: Natural, white, gray, black

polypropylene

HDPE (Polyethylene)

HDPE’s (High-Density Polyethylene) main advantage is in its name – a high strength-to-density ratio. With it, parts can be made or used in machinery parts and packaging products (bottles and tanks).  HDPE is UV resistant, which makes it ideal for harsh environment applications.

Standard color options: Natural (milky white), black, blue, green

HDPE

LDPE (Polyethylene)

LDPE (Low-Density Polyethylene) is waterproof and resistant to harsh chemicals. It has a low melting point, which makes it ideal for tamper-proof heat sealing applications. It’s used to make plastic bags, film wraps and plastic bottles.

Standard color options: Natural (semi-transparent), black, white

LDPE

PS (Polystyrene)

Polystyrene is tough, although not as hard or strong as PPS. Its biggest advantages are high optical clarity and an easier injection molding process. PS is used to manufacture disposable utensils, CD cases, and food trays.

Standard color options: Clear, white, black

PS_(Polystyrene)

HIPS

HIPS (High Impact Polystyrene) is used to make containers, trays, and interior car trims. HIPS doesn’t crack easily on impact.  HIPs is affordable and easy to mold. Post processing may not be necessary because HIPs produces cleaner and aesthetic surface finishes.

Standard color options: White, black, natural, custom colors

HIPS

ABS

ABS is the material of choice for applications that require robustness against mechanical stress and impact. It’s commonly used to make electronic casings, enclosures, and toys. ABS is easy to machine, given its low melting point.  Its resilience to chemical exposure broadens its applications to different high-stress consumer and industrial use cases.

Standard color options: Black, white, beige, gray

abs

PET

PET works great in clear plastics injection molding applications like food containers and water bottles. The FDA and ESA have both rubberstamped it as a food-safe material, so that means fewer compliance complications with your product. PET can survive a moderate amount of chemical exposure. It’s recyclable, hence good for the environment.

Standard color options: Clear, green, blue, amber
