Mud Jug Manufacturing Proposal
Flexible manufacturing proposal

Start small, mix products and colors, or scale into container pricing.

Choose any quantity for Classic, Roadie, and Stealth. The calculator separates production, shipping, and mold ownership so the commercial decision is clear.

Flexible quantity per productOnce its mold is paid, we can produce the required practical quantity.
Recommended starting loadMix products and colors into one pallet of up to 1,100 total pieces.
$750 per palletShipping remains $750 even when a pallet is not full.
Any color mixSingle colors, multiple colors, or mixed colors within the order.

Commercial logic

The bigger the load, the better the economics

Small quantities are possiblePay for the relevant mold and we can manufacture 100, 200, 500, or another practical quantity.
Mix products on one palletClassic, Roadie, and Stealth may be combined to fill the same pallet, subject to packing efficiency.
Below one pallet costs more per unitShipping is still approximately $750 whether the pallet carries 100, 800, or the full 1,100 pieces.
Container scale improves costAt larger container volumes, indicative production cost is approximately $3.00–$3.75 per unit before mold and shipping.
20-pallet shipping benchmarkApproximately $11,000 shipping for a 20-pallet container, versus $15,000 at the standard $750-per-pallet basis.
Flexible mold ownershipThe buyer may purchase and own the mold, or a factory-funded mold arrangement can be discussed for larger committed volumes.
Indicative pricing

Estimated production cost by volume

Excludes mold and shipping. Final price depends on resin, color, finish, packaging, and approved specifications.

Quantity per modelRoadie / StealthClassic OriginalCommercial note
1–499$10.75$11.25Short run; setup cost is spread across fewer pieces.
500–1,099$7.25$7.75Better for product testing; fill one mixed pallet where possible.
1,100–4,999$5.25$5.75Improved manufacturing and pallet efficiency.
5,000–9,999$4.25$4.75Commercial production level.
10,000+$3.00–$3.50$3.50–$3.75Container-scale target range and strongest economics.

These are planning estimates, not a binding quotation. Exact rates require final product drawings, material grade, color plan, finish, packaging, destination, and freight confirmation.
