Tooling Archive and Reorder: Spare Trays Before the Listing Dies
One sheet tears on Thursday. Ads stay on. Reorder is not overnight. This service is how we store the approved tool and how you buy the next lot without reinventing CAD.

Reference the archive ID on the next PO
If CAD was honest and you did not change undercuts, reorder skips redesign. It does not skip production queue and ship. Keep the ID on the PO.
When a spare sheet is cheaper than a dead listing
A second design is a second MOQ 20. Recolor of the pour is not a new mold MOQ unless you need another sheet set.
| Situation | Usual ask |
|---|---|
| Ads on, 1 sheet | High risk |
| Spare 10-20% cavities | Common |
| New undercut | New design, new MOQ 20 |
| Colorway only | Same cavity |
Not a twin of lead time explained
That blog is the calendar. This is the commercial reorder path and archive habit.
Reorder RFQ
Archive ID, qty of trays, whether geometry changed, destination.
