The Hard-Core Secret Behind A Good Pen - Fanshida's One-stop Pain Point Solution for "Gel Pen Molds And Finished Products"

Every day, 4.5 billion gel pens are used worldwide. However, few people know that the smooth 0.3mm nib that does not leak ink, the tightly fitting cap, and the comfortable soft rubber sheath all depend on the slightest difference between the "gel pen mold and the finished product". Fanshida Injection Molding has been deeply engaged in the industry for 18 years. With an integrated model of "mold + injection molding + assembly", it has solved the three most painful problems in the industry at one go.

Pain Point 1: Size drift, with the yield rate fluctuating

The traditional processing of "gel pen molds and finished products" often results in uneven cooling, causing the pen barrel to be elliptical and the pen cap to be too loose. Fanshida has introduced Moldflow simulation and 3D conformal waterways, with temperature differences controlled within ±1℃, roundness stabilized within 0.02mm, and the yield rate has increased from 85% to 99.2%.

The key words "gel pen molds and finished products" are frequently verified in this stage: molds are finished products, and dimensions are brands.

Pain Point 2: Long delivery time, new products miss the window period

The industry average takes 45 days to open a mold, and with the addition of mold testing and repair, the pace of market launch has been seriously slowed down. Fanshida adopts modular mold bases and cloud CNC production scheduling, compressing the total cycle of "gel pen molds and finished products" to 25 days. The 100,000-level dust-free injection molding workshop was launched simultaneously. The trial production of molds and the assembly of finished products were carried out in parallel, truly achieving T0 as T1. The first batch of bulk goods for customers were put on the shelves two weeks ahead of schedule.

Iii. Pain Point 3: Uncontrolled costs and profits being eaten up by molds

Frequent mold repairs have kept the amortization per piece of "gel pen molds and finished products" at a high level. We select S136 vacuum quenched steel with DLC nano-coating, and the mold life has exceeded 3 million cycles. At the same time, the pen holder, sheath and tail stopper are disassembled into interchangeable sub-molds. The mold base does not need to be replaced when changing the model, and the cost of a single mold is directly reduced by 38%, making small-batch customization also price-competitive.

Fourth, from the mold to the finished product, we only take one more step

After completing the "gel pen mold and finished product", Fanshida also offers one-stop contract manufacturing services including automated assembly, hot stamping/silk-screen printing, and blister card paper packaging. Customers only need to provide the ID design drawing, and they will receive the entire product that can be directly listed after 30 days, truly realizing "drawing as product".
