Why MOQ Is Not a Single Number

Product Type

Serums, creams, masks, perfumes and makeup each have different production economics.

Formula

Custom formulas need dedicated batching — higher minimums than stock formulas.

Packaging

Bottle, box, label and printing all have their own supplier minimums.

Special Packaging

Custom molds or special packaging raise minimums (e.g. 12,000 units for color cosmetics).
