MOQ is not one number
A stock formula in a standard jar may support a different minimum from a custom blend in a printed sachet. Packaging often sets the highest minimum because printers and component suppliers have their own run sizes. Ask for the MOQ against the exact format you intend to sell. MOQ, costing and lead time are all fixed at the end of product development, in the written specification.
A realistic timeline
Allow time for brief review, sample development, sensory approval, commercial confirmation, artwork, component procurement, production, testing and dispatch. A repeat order using approved materials is usually simpler than a first launch. Urgency should be shared at the beginning, not after artwork approval.
Compliance is shared work
The manufacturer supplies agreed production and product information. The brand owner must also ensure that claims, artwork, business details and destination-market requirements are correct. Keep approvals in writing and use the physical final pack as the source of truth.
Frequently asked questions
What is your MOQ?
It depends on the formula and pack. Share quantity, format, net weight and customisation so the team can quote accurately.
How long does a first order take?
Timing depends on sample rounds, artwork, packaging procurement and production capacity. A dated plan follows an approved brief.
Which certifications are available?
Review current facility, product and scope documents with the team rather than relying on a logo alone.
