What is MOQ?
Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) is the smallest number of units a factory will produce in one run.
Why MOQs Exist
1. Setup Costs
Each production run requires plate making, color calibration, and machine setup.
2. Material Efficiency
Paper comes in large sheets; smaller orders generate more waste.
3. Economic Viability
Fixed costs must be spread across enough units to keep pricing reasonable.
Typical MOQs
- Paper bags: 1,000 units
- Paper boxes: 500 units
- Complex structures: 2,000 units
How to Reduce MOQ
Choose standard sizes, simplify printing colors, or combine multiple designs in one production run.
