There are several factors given by Injection mold maker that will determine your injection molding cost, including:

Part size
Complexity
Material
Quantities

Material selection is another consideration in determining the cost of injection molded plastic parts. In general, the plastic used to create the product is determined by what the product will be used for. Different plastic materials have different properties and an experienced manufacturer can help determine the best plastic for the job. Commonly used plastic materials include:

Polyethylene
Polypropylene
ABS
Polystyrene
Nylon
Polycarbonate

If you have a target injection molding cost, tell your mold builder. They can design the mold accordingly and plan for the right number of cavities to achieve that price. The more cavities (or parts made per cycle), the less expensive the parts will be, also allowing for higher output.
