Same Product, Different Price , Why?

The price of hardware accessories is mainly composed of 3 parts: production cost, management cost and profit. Here we discuss the product price differences caused by production costs.

 

Production costs include raw materials, production of embryos, surface treatment, and packaging.

 

  1. Raw materials:The cost difference between raw materials lies in the weight of the product. As a small-weight product, the cost difference can basically be ignored.
  2. The production of embryosis mainly the loss during the embryo making process.
  3. Surface processingis an important reason for the product price gap.
  • Sand edge/scrape edge (manual processing)
  • Water grinding (coarse grinding$<water grinding to highlight$< fine grinding$)
  • .Polishing (mold polishing$<hand polishing$)

Depending on the quality requirements, the order of these 3 processes will be different, and the processing methods between the processes will also be different, resulting in different prices.

  • Plating: Rollingplating and hanging plating are the main differences, but hanging plating is also divided into ordinary plating, high-end  plating, and fine plating (the main difference is the time and quantity of each plating)

At the same time, the product assembly and plating sequence are different, resulting in different product quality, and of course the price is also different.

 

4.Packaging: For the purpose of protecting the product, high-quality product protection measures are more in place, and the packaging cost will be higher.

 

We do not deny that you get what you pay for, but apart from the reasonable profits that the factory deserves, how to ensure that the money you spend on production is fully used? This is a question you should think about as a purchaser. If you cannot fully control and understand every step of the product processing, then I hope that the production partner you find is reliable and let her help you control every detail of the product and be professional. Things should be left to professionals, so that you can devote the most energy to your professional fields to the greatest extent. Win-win cooperation is our ultimate goal!
