A minimum order quantity is not an arbitrary threshold; it is the lowest quantity at which a model can be produced economically. The MOQ is the point where pattern cost, the fabric dye lot and the quantity at which a sewing line runs efficiently meet. We work to 500 units per custom model and 100 units per SKU from the ready collection; for models with a simple construction we review requests from 300 units on a project basis.
The dye lot sets the threshold on most projects
When you want your corporate colour applied to fabric against a Pantone reference, the dye house minimum often becomes the MOQ itself. Choosing a stock colour from the ready collection and using shared accessories brings that threshold down.
One pattern, several colours
Pattern and sample development costs do not depend on quantity. Producing the same pattern in different fabric colours or with different labelling spreads the development cost across more units and lowers the cost per unit.
What your brief needs for an accurate figure
When your brief includes target size, estimated annual quantity, fabric expectations and your accessory and packaging preferences, our team confirms the MOQ range for your project and the unit price attached to it in writing with the quotation.
