Understanding Packaging MOQs
What minimum order quantities mean in bespoke packaging, why they vary and how quantity affects the most suitable manufacturing route.
Why MOQs vary
The economical minimum depends on the construction, material, print process, tooling, finishing operations and factory setup involved. There is therefore no useful universal MOQ for every bespoke packaging project.
Quantity changes the manufacturing decision
A short run may suit one production method while a larger repeat order may justify a different process or overseas manufacturing route. The objective should be to choose the route that makes commercial sense for the actual requirement.
