At our trash can factory, the extra cost for a custom logo embossed on the side of a bin is not one flat number. Embossing changes the mold or die, so the quote normally has two parts: a one-time tooling or setup charge and a small per-unit surcharge after the tooling is ready. For a standard injection-molded plastic trash can with a simple logo on one side, the one-time mold insert or engraving charge is often in the low-to-mid hundreds of US dollars. A very simple, small logo may be lower; a large, deep, highly detailed, or multi-side emboss may be higher. After tooling, the per-unit added cost is usually modest at production volume, often measured in cents rather than dollars, but low order quantities can raise the effective unit price because the setup cost is spread over fewer bins. For metal bins, the cost depends on the embossing die, metal thickness, logo size, and whether the side is flat or curved; a simple metal embossing die may range from a few hundred to over one thousand US dollars, with a per-unit labor and finishing surcharge. To give you an exact price, we need your bin model, material, dimensions, logo artwork in vector format, preferred logo size and location, emboss depth, number of sides, target order quantity, and sample requirements. Fine lines, tiny text, sharp corners, and extreme depth can increase tooling cost or require design adjustment. If you already have a mold with a removable insert, the cost is usually lower because we may only need to make or modify the insert. If the bin mold has no insert, we may need to add one. The most practical way to confirm the extra cost is to send your logo and bin specification for a written quotation with tooling fee, sample fee, unit surcharge, lead time, and mold ownership terms clearly listed. This keeps the embossed logo cost transparent before production begins.
