News & Field Notes/ Manufacturing

MOQ: the product and the packaging.

Why changing your bottle or product size can change the minimum order.

What MOQ means

The minimum order quantity is the smallest batch available for a particular specification. A starting MOQ is not a promise that every formula, size and packaging combination uses the same minimum.

Two requirements to align

The manufacturing batch and packaging supply can have different minimums. Custom containers, printing or outer boxes can introduce requirements beyond the filled product itself.

Variants matter

Separate scents, shades or sizes can require separate production setups. Specify the quantity for each variant rather than only the total number of units.

How to keep the first run practical

Ask about existing containers, standard decoration and fewer variants. Confirm whether excess packaging is purchased, stored or reused, and who bears that cost.

These are planning notes. Your quotation and contract define the actual specification, services and responsibilities.
