Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) for Custom Underwear

When starting a private label underwear line or bulk order, minimum order quantity (MOQ) is a critical factor. Here’s a breakdown of MOQ options based on your customization level:

1. MOQ by Customization Type

Customization Level MOQ Requirement Best For
Light Customization 100 pcs per style Startups testing designs
(Fixed style/color)
Color Customization 350 pcs per style/color Brands adding unique colors
Full Customization 2,000 pcs total (350 pcs per style/color) Established brands with custom waistbands, fabrics, or designs

Note: MOQ may vary for sustainable fabrics (e.g., organic cotton) or complex techniques (e.g., seamless bonding).

2. FAQs About Custom Underwear MOQ

Q: Can I order fewer than 100 pieces?

A: For samples/prototypes, yes (typically 3–10 pcs). Bulk production starts at 100 pcs.

Q: Why does full customization require higher MOQ?

A: Custom patterns, fabrics, and waistbands involve extra setup costs. Higher quantities reduce per-unit costs.

Q: How to reduce MOQ costs?

  • Combine orders: Share production with other brands.
  • Pre-made designs: Choose from our catalog for lower MOQs.

A: No! We handle bulk orders (50,000+ pcs) with volume discounts.

3. Factors Affecting MOQ & Pricing

  • Fabric: Organic cotton/recycled materials may increase MOQ.
  • Design complexity: Embroidery vs. simple prints.
  • Packaging: Custom boxes/gift sets add to MOQ.
