Protecting Your Mold Investment
A transparent and professional mold management policy ensures that every tool we build for you is traceable, secure, and production-ready for years to come. Here is exactly how we safeguard your intellectual property, tooling assets, and long-term supply stability.
Climate-controlled · Access-restricted · Fully indexed
Pay for the Mold, Own the Mold.
Once the client settles the agreed tooling fee, full legal ownership of the mold transfers to the client. YMS acts solely as the authorized custodian and manufacturer. The mold is contractually bound to serve your production orders only.
Written Ownership Confirmation
A signed ownership certificate is issued upon mold acceptance.
Exclusive Production Rights
Your mold is never shared, replicated, or used for a third party.
Transparent Cost Breakdown
Mold cost, cavity count, and material grade quoted in advance.
Unique Numbering & Client Archive
Every mold is permanently engraved with a unique ID that links to a complete digital archive--so your tooling is always identifiable, auditable, and recoverable.
Engraved Mold Number
Permanent laser-engraved ID on every mold base.
Client Code
Dedicated code links the mold to your account only.
Design Archive
2D/3D drawings, material certs, cavity specs stored.
Lifecycle Log
Every shot count, repair, and inspection recorded.
Your Mold. Your Orders. Only.
We enforce strict usage controls to guarantee that your mold is reserved exclusively for your production. No competitor, distributor, or affiliated factory may access the tool without your written authorization.
- NDA-protected tooling data and design drawings.
- Production authorized only against your purchase orders.
- No duplication, resale, or sub-licensing of the mold.
- Access limited to authorized production & QC staff.
Isolated Storage, Zero Mix-Ups
Molds are stored in a dedicated, climate-controlled warehouse with physical separation per client to eliminate the risk of cross-contamination or misuse.
Dedicated Shelving
Each client has a labelled shelving zone -- molds are never pooled or stacked randomly.
Climate Controlled
Humidity < 50% RH, stable 20-25°C temperature to prevent oxidation and corrosion.
Access Controlled
Entry restricted to authorized personnel with full in/out logging for every movement.
Scheduled Maintenance & Anti-Rust Care
Every mold under YMS custody follows a periodic maintenance schedule. We clean, inspect, and apply protective coatings to prevent rust and extend tool life--free of charge for active clients.
Repair & Lifecycle Management
We proactively monitor shot counts and wear patterns to recommend repairs before quality drops--protecting both your mold investment and product consistency.
Shot Count Tracking
Digital counter logs every cycle for predictive maintenance.
Wear Assessment
QC team flags surface wear, parting-line fatigue, and venting issues.
Repair Quote
Transparent cost estimate issued before any repair work begins.
End-of-Life Advisory
We advise on refurbishment vs. remake when lifespan approaches.
Handling Long-Term Idle Molds
A clear protocol for molds without production activity--so nothing is lost, forgotten, or disposed of without your consent.
Status Notification
Automated email notice sent to the client to confirm plans.
Deep Maintenance
Full disassembly, inspection, and heavy-duty anti-rust treatment.
Formal Decision Request
We request a written decision: keep, transfer, or scrap the mold.
Storage Fee Review
Optional long-term storage agreement with annual fee may apply.
