Customer projects: four packaging programmes, described in detail

Often, yes. We hold 2,000+ existing molds, and many projects are built on the closest match plus custom colour, decoration and closure. That removes the tooling cost and shortens the timeline considerably. Send the capacity and shape you want and we will tell you honestly whether an existing mold is a good fit or whether a private mold is the better route.

MOQ depends on the product and the mold. For custom accessories and closures, orders start at 5,000 pcs in white, black or natural, or 10,000 pcs for custom colours. Stock-mold bottles can sometimes be supplied in smaller trial volumes with a start-up fee — ask, and we will tell you what is genuinely possible rather than quoting a blanket rule.

Private tooling is quoted and invoiced separately from the unit price, so you can see what you are paying for and what it buys. Many clients prefer that to a tooling cost buried in the piece price. Where a project is large enough, amortising tooling across the order is a conversation worth having.

Yes. Silk screen, labelling, hot stamp and spray coating are all done in-house, so your artwork is applied under our own inspection rather than by an outside printer. Colour is matched against an approved masterbatch sample, and a physical standard chip is kept for reorder consistency.

Custom tooling is made for your project and can be marked with your own identification. We do not resell a client’s private mold to another customer. If your brand requires it, we will sign your NDA before receiving technical drawings — that is standard practice for us, not an unusual request.

Five things: target capacity, material preference or the product it will hold, closure type, decoration requirements, and order quantity. Add your destination country and any deadline you are working to, and the quote comes back with the right export documentation instead of needing a second round.

Always. Nothing enters mass production until a physical sample has been approved for shape, colour, finish and print. Sampling from an existing mold typically runs 3–10 days; a new tool is a longer programme and is scheduled separately. You will be told which applies before you commit.

Shijin ships to buyers in 30+ countries, with long experience in North America, Europe, Southeast Asia and the Middle East. Export paperwork — declarations, test reports and translations — is prepared in English as standard, because a delayed customs clearance costs far more than the document itself.
