A one-cavity sample looks perfect. Ads scale, you cut 12, cavity 11 is heavy. First SKU cavity count is a risk choice, not a bigger-is-better slogan.
RUUIPON cuts custom silicone molds in Shenzhen since 2018 for brand and Shopify buyers. MOQ 20 trays per design. Complete RFQs typically get a reply in about 24 hours. Prototype is commonly 3-7 business days after CAD lock. Drawing deposit ~$50 USD when we must model cavities.
One Cavity Hides Drift
If the first sample looked fine, wait until later cavities before you approve a production sheet. Restock is where this failure shows.

| Input | What it does |

| 1 cavity | Hides variance |
