Quick answer: A firearm plastic gun case wholesale quote should be split into cavity size, wall, latch count and liner, because vague wording costs more than a high price. A 780 tonne press on 1×2 cavities puts the economic batch at 500 pieces, and lead time reports in four blocks, from 6 working days for samples to 28 days by sea.

1. Six Figures a Firearm Plastic Gun Case Wholesale Quote Must Carry
A purchase pack is not an inquiry form; it makes three plants quote the same object. One body may return 96 and another 118, only 4 of it margin.
| Line | Figure required | Cost if vague |
|---|---|---|
| Internal size | plus or minus 1.0 mm | mould change, CNY 24,000 |
| Wall | 3.0 mm body, 2.6 mm lid | 0.5 mm thinner |
| Latches | four, 60 N each | a 35 N pair |
| Seal | 6 mm groove, 5.5 mm cord | rain in 30 minutes |
| Heat | minus 20 to 60 C | sag at 65 C |
| Drop | 12 kg at 1.2 m | corner cracks |
Latch force matters most: 35 N pops open on the first 1.2 m drop.
2. How Price Follows Tonnage and Cavity Count
A firearm plastic gun case wholesale price is calculated on the press: a 780 tonne machine on 1×2 cavities runs a 105 second cycle, 68 pieces an hour theoretical and 34 net, so CNY 210 an hour gives 6.2 per piece.
| Batch | Cavities | Cycle | Unit price |
|---|---|---|---|
| 500 pcs | 1×1 | 128 s | CNY 118 |
| 2,000 pcs | 1×2 | 105 s | CNY 104 |
| 8,000 pcs | 1×2 | 96 s | CNY 96 |
Material is 4.6 kg times a 1.06 loss factor, so PP at CNY 10.6 a kilo gives 51.7; hardware 8, liner 12 and packing 3 put cost near 81. That 14 gap is press time spread wider.
3. MOQ, Mould Ownership and First Article Approval
The 500 piece minimum is arithmetic. A changeover takes 3.5 hours and a 780 tonne press runs two specifications a day, so 500 pieces fill under two shifts; below that a plant charges CNY 1,200 per changeover or pushes the price past 130.
A 1×2 tool costs CNY 260,000, adding 520 per piece at 500 units and 32.5 at 8,000. Ownership must be written down: bought out, or shared with a 15 day queue for colour changes and CNY 90,000 off the tool.
After the T1 trial, measure nine dimensions including cavity length, width, depth and latch centre distance; three trials sit inside the tooling price, then CNY 6,000 each.
4. Acceptance and Batch Traceability in the Contract
The real risk in volume is drift: the first 100 pieces run 3.0 mm wall, the last 200 fall to 2.5 mm.
| Item | Sample | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Wall | 20 pcs, 8 points | 2.4 mm minimum |
| Latch force | 20 pcs | 45 to 75 N |
| Drop | 3 pcs | 1.2 m, no through crack |
| Salt spray | 10 parts | 96 hours, white rust under 5 percent |
Traceability needs a mould number and a shift code, both moulded in the compound. Colour drift is held at Delta E 1.8, past which two batches read as two models.
5. Lead Time in Four Blocks and Route Choice
A firearm plastic gun case wholesale lead time given as one number swallows every risk. Report four blocks: 6 working days for samples, 22 days for tooling, 16 to 20 days for production, 28 days by sea to a US West Coast base port.
Tooling is least controllable, with steel returning in 12 days and CNC scheduling taking 6; expediting to 17 days adds 18 percent, two production runs save 5 days, and rail takes 20 instead of 28.
Conclusion
Buying firearm plastic gun case wholesale means turning one total price into three checkable columns: written cavity and wall figures, a batch size that matches the press, and a lead time quoted in blocks. Six figures pull a forty percent spread down to ten and keep cash out of stock, so firearm plastic gun case wholesale stops depending on arguments after delivery.
