The mold for makeup brush hairs and ferrules

If customers want to customize makeup brushes with their special design, they will know that the makeup brush manufacturers need to develop molds for plastic handles. But if they do not require plastic handles but wooden handle or mental handle, some will believe that no mold is needed during production.

It is really a misunderstanding. If customers have their own design on the makeup brushes, or if the makeup brushes have special design on the shape and size, the manufacturers will need to develop molds for each part- hair, ferrule and handle.

For hairs, if customers require special shape for the brush heads, the manufacturers will need to develop a certain mold and insert the hairs into the mold to reach required shape. The hair mold is usually plastic, and as it is very small, the mold fee is not too high.

For ferrules, if the ferrule shape and size are not the same as normal, the manufacturers also need to develop mold for it. Otherwise, it is impossible to ensure that each ferrule will reach required shape and size. The ferrule mold is usually metal, so is expensive than hair mold.

For plastic handles, no need to repeat again, mold is essential. For wooden handles, also need certain mold to ensure shape and size.

Most customers do not realize the molds for hairs and ferrules, that is because the makeup brush manufacturers usually do not additionally charge the mold for hairs and ferrules, they usually include the molding fee into the whole cost, and then share to each brush.

Also due to the low cost, the molds for hairs and ferrules are easy to break or damage. Therefore, if customers place repeat orders for a makeup brush, after long time usage and damage, the mold may be broken, and require new mold for it.
