Previously, we introduced that you can paint the same pattern with different colors to make more items. This is done by producing white body (unpainted) from the same set of molds, and then painting with different colors to make more items.
Sometimes, we encounter another situation where only a partial change to the pattern is needed while most of the pattern remains the same.
In such cases, after finishing the clay molds and creating the first set of silicon molds, the broken clay molds can be carefully repaired, partially modified, and then used to create a second or third set of different silicon molds.
For example, there is a General Tiger product that has the same overall style, but the only difference is the text on the bottom, which is “黃虎將軍 Yellow Tiger General” and “黑虎將軍Black Tiger General”.
In this case, please let us know when making the sample, and we will make the two products directly in the process of making the sample. Although it is necessary to make two sets of molds, it is easy to make two sets of products without increasing the cost too much.
This can also be extended in many ways, such as this Japanese Kinkakuji, which can be customized for the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn, and winter, with different styles and colors for each season. The main body is the same, but can be made into four different styles, which are made by four sets of molds.
It is important to note that this method requires repeated use of the clay molds, so please let us know at the sampling stage that different styles are needed so that we can make the molds as complete as possible.
