What is Low-Volume Manufacturing?
Low-volume manufacturing refers to producing a certain number of products, usually ranging from a few hundred to tens of thousands of pieces. This method fills the gap between prototyping and mass production and is particularly suitable for the following scenarios:
- Testing products before large-scale launch.
- Creating limited edition or seasonal products.
- Startups or small businesses with limited budgets.
- Reducing excess inventory and waste.
Benefits of Low-Volume Manufacturing
- High Cost-Effectiveness
Traditional manufacturing usually requires high mold costs and long lead times. With low-volume production, companies only need to produce the required quantity, thus saving costs.
Case: With our exclusive mold service, beauty brands can develop exclusive designs with a lower initial investment.
- Reduce Time to Market
Low-volume manufacturing speeds up the production process and helps brands launch innovative products quickly.
