1、 Material: The choice of materials for making metal coffins has a decisive impact on their price. The common metal materials in the market include steel, copper, aluminum, and stainless steel, and the cost of different materials varies greatly. The price of steel is relatively affordable, and ordinary carbon steel is often used for the production of basic metal coffins. This type of coffin can provide economic options for customers with limited budgets while meeting basic durability needs, and wholesale prices are usually in a lower range. However, if high-strength alloy steel is used, the cost will increase due to the improved performance of the steel itself, and the wholesale price will correspondingly rise. Copper materials, especially pure copper, are often used to make high-quality metal coffins due to their excellent corrosion resistance and unique texture. Copper coffins have a warm and mellow color, giving people a sense of solemnity, and are highly favored by some consumers. But the high price of copper itself makes the wholesale price of copper metal coffins significantly higher than that of steel coffins, often belonging to the mid to high end price range. Aluminum materials have the characteristics of light weight, corrosion resistance, and high cost-effectiveness. Metal coffins made from aluminum materials have a moderate wholesale price while ensuring durability and aesthetics. They have strong price competitiveness in the market and are popular among customers who pursue cost-effectiveness. Stainless steel has become a popular material for making metal coffins due to its excellent corrosion resistance and modern appearance. The price of different types of stainless steel varies due to differences in composition and performance. For example, 316 stainless steel with higher nickel content has stronger corrosion resistance and is priced higher than ordinary 201 stainless steel. Coffins made of high-quality stainless steel generally have wholesale prices in the mid to high end, and due to the excellent processing performance of stainless steel, they can achieve more complex designs and further enhance product added value. 2、 Production process: The production process is another important factor affecting the wholesale price of metal coffins. Handmade metal coffins often embody the painstaking efforts and exquisite skills of craftsmen. From sheet cutting and welding to fine polishing and decorative carving, every step is manually completed by craftsmen. This process is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also requires extremely high skills from craftsmen, so the cost of handmade metal coffins is high, and wholesale prices are correspondingly high. Some metal coffins made using traditional hand forging techniques have unique textures and textures on their surfaces that are difficult to replicate by mechanical production. These products are usually positioned in the high-end market and are expensive. In contrast, metal coffins produced by machinery have significant advantages in efficiency. Through standardized production processes and automated equipment, products with uniform specifications can be produced quickly and in large quantities. Mechanical production reduces labor costs, shortens production cycles, and results in relatively lower wholesale prices. However, products produced by machinery may be inferior to handmade ones in terms of personalization and craftsmanship precision. However, with the continuous advancement of mechanical manufacturing technology, some advanced CNC machining equipment can also achieve more complex designs while maintaining a relatively reasonable wholesale price while ensuring a certain level of craftsmanship. 3、 Design complexity: price difference between simplicity and luxury The design style and complexity of metal coffins also have a significant impact on wholesale prices. The metal coffin with minimalist design emphasizes practicality and basic appearance, with a simple and elegant shape without excessive decorative elements. This type of coffin requires relatively low labor, material resources, and time costs in the design and production process, and the wholesale price is also relatively affordable, suitable for customers who pursue cost-effectiveness and have low requirements for appearance design. And luxurious and complex designs often incorporate rich artistic elements and personalized customization. For example, decorative techniques such as three-dimensional carving, gemstone inlay, or metal accessories are used to create a visually striking and artistic value for the appearance of coffins. Complex designs not only require higher-level designers to participate, but also have stricter requirements for craftsmanship during the production process, and material loss may be greater. These factors combined lead to a significant increase in costs, and wholesale prices naturally rise. Some metal coffins designed to meet specific religious rituals or the special needs of high-end customers have unique shapes and exquisite decorations, making them luxury items in funeral supplies. Wholesale prices can reach several times or even higher than ordinary simple design coffins. The wholesale price of metal coffins is the result of multiple factors such as material, production process, design complexity, brand and market positioning, and region. When purchasing metal coffins, funeral industry practitioners need to consider these factors comprehensively, choose the most cost-effective products based on their own customer group needs and business strategies, in order to gain an advantage in market competition.
