Why manufacturers set an MOQ
Minimum order quantity helps a factory recover setup, material, tooling, printing, certification and production-change costs.
- Machine setup and changeover
- Raw-material purchase units
- Custom packaging runs
- Administrative export cost
MOQ is not always one number
A supplier may have a total-order MOQ, a per-color MOQ and a per-model MOQ. Ask which restriction actually drives the quote.
- Total order
- Per SKU or model
- Per color or finish
- Per packaging language
Negotiate the structure, not only the number
A trial order, shared material, neutral packaging or a recurring forecast may create a more workable first order.
- Paid sample or pilot
- Fewer variants
- Standard material and packaging
- Annual forecast with call-off orders
