Batch custom work clothes sweater, what is the MOQ?

Many HR or administrative heads of enterprises, when they first come into contact with workwear customization, one of the most common questions they ask is: "We don't have many people in our company, how many pieces can we make?"

Faced with the threshold of "1,000 pieces minimum order" on the market, it will indeed discourage many small and medium-sized teams. Today, we will not talk about the false, but directly cut to the core, breaking up the issue of the minimum order quantity of mass-customized work clothes and sweaters to make it clear.?

Why is there a threshold of "MOQ"?

In fact, the factory sets the MOQ, behind the real cost logic. Customized sweaters are not like buying ready-to-wear, it involves fabric procurement, cutting, printing/embroidery, sewing, ironing, packaging and other links.

For example, it takes labor and time to open a set of cutting templates and adjust the color of a printing machine. If you only make a few dozen pieces, the "startup fee" spread on each piece of clothing is too high, and the factory can't even recover the cost.?

Therefore, MOQ is essentially a balance point, which not only allows the factory to maintain a low profit, but also allows the purchaser to obtain a reasonable unit price.

Second, what is the specific MOQ? It depends on the situation!

Generally speaking, the standard on the market is a minimum order of 300 pieces. This quantity is just enough for most 50-200-person enterprises, and they can get a more cost-effective ex-factory price.

However, if you have the following specific requirements, the MOQ may change:

1. Solid color basic model, no printing/embroidery: If you just need a solid color sweater without any logo, some spot factories can achieve a minimum order of 100 or even 50 pieces, but this usually belongs to the category of "spot wholesale" rather than "customization".

2. Complex processes (e.g. digital direct injection, three-dimensional embroidery): The more complex the process, the higher the requirements for equipment debugging, and the MOQ will often increase accordingly, generally fluctuating between 300 and 500 pieces.

3. Multi-size, multi-color: If you need the full size from S to XXL, and it is also divided into 3 colors, then each color and each size need to be stocked. In this case, the factory may require the total number of pieces to reach more than 500 pieces to ensure inventory turnover.

III. What if the company has few employees?

If your team is only 30 people and you want to make 200 pieces (2 pieces per person), you will definitely encounter a wall at this time. But finding the right professional service provider, Shenzhen Yasenman Apparel Co., Ltd. can provide you with a more flexible solution.

Yasen Man has been deeply involved in the apparel customization industry for many years, and they know the pain points of small and medium-sized enterprises. For regular work clothes sweaters, they can flexibly adjust the MOQ to about 200 pieces, and provide one-to-one fabric and process advice. Even if the quantity is not large, it can help you control your budget by optimizing typography and reducing fabric loss.?

IV. Low MOQ, is the quality guaranteed?

This is another issue that many people are worried about. Don't think that a low MOQ is a "small workshop". The standard for judging quality is not the minimum order quantity, but the qualification and sample clothes.

Before confirming the cooperation, be sure to ask the manufacturer to provide proofing services. Focus on checking the elasticity of the neckline thread, the tightening degree of the cuffs and hem, and the gram weight of the fabric. The combed cotton fabric used by Yasen Man, even under the customized quantity of 200 pieces, still guarantees that each piece of clothing goes through three quality inspection processes to ensure that there are no jumpers and needle leaks.✅
