From specs to shipped box. Peak stays on the program.

New to injection molding, or coming from an overseas supplier that never showed you the work? Here's how a sourcing engagement with Peak actually runs — and what we need from you to start.

Direct answer

A recent US tool quote (October 2025) was about 4–5 weeks for a new mold, then about 1 week of production after sign-off. Production from an existing tool is about 2 weeks. Quote turnaround is the shop's clock — Peak doesn't publish one. Moving an existing tool depends on tool condition and the destination shop's schedule.

Then about 1 week of production after sign-off. Oct 2025 quote — not a Peak guarantee.

Send Peak your part. We'll reply. Tooling and piece-price come back after the shop quotes. If you're moving a tool, we'll ask the destination shop for a window. We will not invent one.
