You run one production sheet. It tears Thursday. Reorder is not overnight. Spare-tray math is a listing-risk quote, not a fear upsell.
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 Sheet Is a Single Point of Failure
If the first sample looked fine, wait until later cavities before you approve a production sheet. Restock is where this failure shows.
