Significant savings. Should the required number get into tens of thousands, we might find it cost-effective to custom-mold our own - if and only if we can't find a commercial product that's perfect. The setup cost for blow-molding is high, but when you need enough of *anything* it can pay to at least talk to an engineer before you go to K-Mart . . .
