Many of our manufacturers will customize aluminum profiles when manufacturing new equipment or frame products. Because aluminum alloy profiles have good formability and the cost of mold opening is not high, custom aluminum profiles have become a better choice for everyone. So what is the difference between custom aluminum profiles and general aluminum profiles?

1. Customized aluminum profiles need to open molds, which requires more mold costs, but the price of aluminum profile molds is relatively low, and most manufacturers can accept it. The mold fee ranges from 1,000 yuan to tens of thousands of yuan according to the size and difficulty of the profile section.

2. The production cycle is different. The mold opening and customized products require mold opening time and mold trial time. Generally, the production cycle of customized aluminum profiles is 10-15 days longer than that of general aluminum profiles.

3. The price of aluminum profiles is different. Generally, the price of custom-made aluminum profiles will be higher than that of general-purpose aluminum profiles, because general-purpose aluminum profiles are products we have produced for a long time, and various production processes are relatively mature. Generally, we will not encounter any production problems. As the aluminum profile is a new product, it is more difficult to produce. It may encounter various situations such as unqualified mold testing, mold repair, and hardness not up to standard. These increase the production cost, so the price will be slightly higher. Moreover, customized aluminum profiles often require deep processing, which increases the process and charges a certain processing fee.

Well, that’s all for the introduction of aluminum profile customization. Another point is that custom aluminum profiles require a certain minimum order quantity, generally 300-500 kg. If it is too small, due to the high energy consumption of the equipment, a certain start-up fee needs to be paid.
