Melbmolds

Melbmolds is an Australian supplier of silicone molds and casting supplies aimed at resin artists, chocolatiers and cake decorators. The web-only catalogue runs from $6 push molds to $160 multi-cavity professional trays, placing the range in the budget-to-mid bracket with occasional premium tool bundles. Orders are fulfilled through the melbmolds.com storefront and shipped domestically and to NZ, USA and SE Asia. The company’s molds are poured in-house from platinum-cure silicone that withstands 200 °C, allowing the same tool to be used for chocolate, fondant, UV resin and low-temp pewter. Deep-cut registration keys and glossy cavity finishes give demolded pieces ready-to-sell clarity, a feature that has made the “Crystal Point” geode tray and “Zodiac Bar” letter sets repeat best-sellers on craft-market platforms. Customers are predominantly 20-40-year-old female makers who sell small-batch jewellery, homewares and event favours via Instagram and Etsy; they value fast dispatch, consistent cavity wall thickness and the ability to bake, pour or set in one mold. The brand’s neutral colour coding and recyclable mailers align with low-waste, maker-to-order values. Melbmolds competes with imported mass-market molds sold through global marketplaces; it counters by offering local stock, same-day Melbourne dispatch and design tweaks (extra pour spouts, metric rulers) requested by its Facebook maker group. Limited-run drops and open-source casting tutorials keep the community engaged and reduce reliance on price competition.
