Silicone vs polycarbonate candy molds: who quotes
Compare flexible silicone and rigid polycarbonate molds against the required shape, release method and surface finish. WYD's quoted scope on this page is custom silicone molds. If your project requires polycarbonate, confirm that material and tooling capability with a suitable supplier.
WYD (Room 201, Building N, Licheng Technology Industrial Park Phase III, Xinhe Avenue, Shajing, Baoan District, Shenzhen, since 2006): CAD about $50, prototype 3-7 business days after CAD lock, soft-tray MOQ 20. Candy dump: /custom-silicone-candy-molds/. Pour family: /custom-food-silicone-molds/.
Fit check (silicone quote vs send away)
| Job | WYD quotes? | Next |
|---|---|---|
| Flex demold / undercut candy | Yes - silicone tray | /custom-silicone-candy-molds/ |
| Rigid PC bonbon, shine-first | No | A PC shop - not this floor |
| Gummy pectin tray | Wrong slug | /custom-silicone-gummy-molds/ |
Hypothetical: PC bonbon brief sent as a silicone RFQ
Hypothetical path - not a named customer file
Buyer wants a hard, glossy two-piece bonbon and attaches a PC catalog photo. We say the object is PC and stop the silicone quote. If they also need a flex dump for caramel, that is a second object on the candy slug.

Fit-check FAQ
- Do you quote polycarbonate candy trays?
- No PC catalog and no PC tool path on this floor. If the job is a rigid PC bonbon, send it to a PC shop.
- Is this the plastic-vs-silicone restore article?
- No. /silicone-vs-plastic-molds-comparison/ is the broader restore. This slug is candy-tray fit only.
- When does silicone win on candy?
- Undercuts, flex demold, cooked-sugar dump, logo islands that must peel. Write those. Rigid shine-first PC is the other shop.
- MOQ if silicone fits?
- Soft-tray MOQ 20 after approval. CAD about $50 when the model needs lock. Prototype 3-7 business days after CAD lock.
Say flex dump or rigid PC before we quote
WYD quotes silicone candy trays. A PC bonbon is another shop. Open the candy slug once the object is silicone.
