What Is the Typical Cost and Lead Time for a Custom 40oz Plastic Tumbler Mold?

When you’re planning a custom-shaped 40oz plastic tumbler, one of the first questions is: how much does the mold cost, and how long will it take? At Dingnuo — Yongkang Dingnuo Industry and Trade Co., LTD. — we’ve spent over 10 years helping brands bring custom drinkware to life. While every mold project is unique, here’s what you should know before starting.

Mold Development for Custom OEM/ODM Tumblers

A truly custom-shaped tumbler requires a new mold. The cost is influenced by factors like design complexity, number of cavities, material choice, and surface finish. Because of this, there is no fixed price that applies to every project. We recommend contacting our team directly with your 3D drawings or prototype — we’ll give you an accurate quote for your specific mold.

It’s important to note that once the mold is ready, the actual production process is very efficient. For a 40oz plastic tumbler like our DN-6026, the molded body and lid use materials such as AS and AS. Capacity is 1200ml / 40oz, net weight is 370g, and dimensions are 10 x 7.8 x 26.4cm. This is a BPA-free product, and the color can be fully customized.

Lead Time: From Mold to Final Product

While mold development itself can vary based on design requirements, our standard lead times after mold approval are clear:

• Sample lead time: 7–15 days (samples without customization usually take 1–3 days; customized samples take 5–10 days depending on details).
• Production lead time: 15–30 days for the full order, depending on order details and production schedule.

The MOQ for this tumbler is 3,000 pieces per item, which helps us keep pricing competitive while maintaining high quality.

Beyond the mold itself, Dingnuo offers complete customization services. Your 40oz tumbler can be produced in custom colors, and we support logo printing and custom packaging. Standard packing for this product is an OPP bag, egg crate, and white box, but custom packaging is also available.
