Inputs the factory works from | Drawings, 3D files, competitor photos, physical samples, or a written brief | Photo matching against 96 models is the usual first step
In-house engineering | Water path, mode-switching mechanism, seal and O-ring layout, assembly structure, residual-water drainage | Designed at the factory
MOQ | From 500 to 2,000 units depending on the model for many projects; new-mold projects quoted with tooling | Quoted per project

## Start with what already exists

The fastest custom shower head is an existing mold with your changes. ZHONGHE keeps 96 molds across 10 categories, and its model pages describe each photo in detail so a buyer's reference picture can be matched to the nearest existing shape. From there, color, tint, plating, cartridge media, face plate color and button color are changed without tooling, and the logo goes on by pad or silk printing, laser marking or printed packaging. Production runs about 30 days after approval as a guide.

Structural changes on an existing design, such as swapping a rotating selector for a push button, adding a stop valve, or changing the inlet thread, are engineered in-house and quoted with any partial tooling.

## When a new mold is the right answer

A new design is justified when the buyer needs a shape the market has not seen or a structure no existing mold offers. The factory develops it in stages: appearance design about 15 days, internal structure design about 15 days (water path, switching mechanism, seals, assembly, drainage), 3D-printed samples, mold making about 60 days, pilot samples, then mass production about 30 days. All are working guides that vary with complexity; a new mold is a fixed cost spread across the units produced, so higher volumes carry less mold cost per unit.

## What to send for a custom quotation

A reference (drawing, 3D file, photo or sample), the changes you need, target market and thread standard, quantity, finish and colors, cartridge media if any, packaging and target price band. The factory replies with the level of customization required, the closest existing model where relevant, and a quotation with timing.

## FAQ

### Can you make a shower head from our drawing or photo?

Yes. The factory first matches the reference against its 96 existing molds; if a close shape exists, customization starts there. If not, it develops a new design with about 15 days of appearance design, 15 days of structure design and 60 days of mold making as guides.

### How much does a custom shower head mold cost?

Mold cost depends on the design's complexity and the number of parts, and is quoted per project. It is a fixed cost spread across production, so it weighs more on small volumes; adapting an existing mold avoids it entirely.

### Can we customize the spray modes or add a stop button?

Yes. Selector type, mode count, stop valve and nozzle plate are structural changes engineered in-house; some fit an existing mold with partial tooling, others need a new design.

### Who owns the mold?

Mold ownership and exclusivity for buyer-funded tooling are agreed in the project contract. State your expectation in the RFQ.
