5. How Silicone Pet Bowl Mold Design Affects Cost
   The mold is one of the most important components of a custom silicone pet bowl project.
   Mold cost can depend on:

• 製品のサイズ
• ボウルの形状
• 肉厚
• 表面の詳細
• Logo complexity
• アンダーカット
• パーティングライン
• キャビティ数
• 生産量
  A simple round bowl may require relatively straightforward tooling.
  A collapsible bowl with multiple structural sections can require more careful mold engineering.
  This is why the manufacturer should review the design before confirming the tooling cost.
  

6. How Much Does a Custom Silicone Pet Bowl Cost?
   The price of a custom silicone pet bowl depends on the complete product specification.
   Important cost factors include:
   製品のサイズ
   Larger bowls generally require more material.
