What’s the MOQ for Custom Red String Bracelets and Phone Cases? A Guide for Buyers
When you order custom corporate gifts, you need to know the minimum order quantity (MOQ). MOQ is the smallest number of units a supplier will produce for a custom order.
Understanding MOQ helps you plan your budget. It also helps you decide which gift fits your needs.
This guide lists the MOQ for all our popular products. It also explains why MOQ exists and how to work with it.
Let us start.
Why Do MOQs Exist?
Suppliers set MOQs for several reasons.
Setup costs: Custom printing or engraving requires machine setup. This takes time and labor. A larger order spreads that cost over more units.
Material ordering: We buy materials in bulk. A very small order may not be possible.
Production efficiency: Running a machine for 50 units is not efficient. Running it for 500 units is much better.
MOQs help us keep prices low for you. Without MOQs, unit prices would be much higher.
MOQ for Custom Red String Bracelets
Red string bracelets are our most popular corporate gift.
| Customization Type | MOQ | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Logo on metal charm (laser engraving) | 50 units | Charm size: 8mm or 10mm round or square |
| Name or text on charm | 50 units | One line of text (max 12 characters) |
| Logo + name on same charm | 100 units | Logo on front, name on back |
| Custom cord color (not red) | 200 units | Other colors: gold, black, blue, green |
| Custom bead (instead of standard jade) | 200 units | Choose agate, crystal, or custom shape |
Example order: 50 bracelets with your logo = $6–$10 per unit depending on charm material.
Lead time: 2–3 weeks after sample approval.
MOQ for Custom Phone Cases
Phone cases are our second most popular item.
| Customization Type | MOQ | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Full‑color UV print (standard logo) | 100 units | Print on back of case. Can be full‑color. |
| Laser engraving on hard case | 100 units | Monochrome (black or white effect). |
| Logo + employee name | 200 units | Name printed or engraved next to logo. |
| Custom pattern (all‑over design) | 200 units | Requires design fee. |
| Multi‑model order (mix iPhone and Samsung) | 100 units total | Any mix counts toward MOQ. |
Example order: 100 cases with logo = $8–$12 per unit.
Lead time: 3–4 weeks after sample approval.
MOQ for Custom Sticker Sheets
Stickers are low‑cost and low‑MOQ.
| Customization Type | MOQ | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Standard sheet (Fu, Lu, Shou + logo) | 200 sheets | 6–8 stickers per sheet. |
| Fully custom design (your artwork) | 200 sheets | Design fee may apply. |
| Holographic or clear material | 500 sheets | Special materials require higher MOQ. |
| Individual die‑cut stickers (not sheets) | 500 pieces | Each sticker is separate. |
Example order: 200 sheets with your logo = $0.80–$1.50 per sheet.
Lead time: 1–2 weeks after sample approval.
MOQ for Custom Silk Scarves
Silk scarves are a luxury gift. MOQ is higher due to complex printing.
| Customization Type | MOQ | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Digital print (full color, any design) | 50 units | 100% mulberry silk. |
| Screen print (simple design, few colors) | 200 units | Lower unit cost but larger MOQ. |
| Embroidered logo on ready‑made scarf | 200 units | Logo on corner. Not full custom scarf. |
| Custom woven label (sewn into scarf) | 500 units | For very large orders. |
Example order: 50 custom silk scarves = $25–$45 per unit (depending on size).
Lead time: 4–6 weeks after sample approval.
MOQ for Other Products
| Product | MOQ | Lead Time |
|---|---|---|
| Ceramic mug (full‑color print) | 100 units | 3–4 weeks |
| Silk pouch (embroidered logo) | 100 units | 3–4 weeks |
| Plush hotel towel (embroidered logo) | 200 pieces | 4–6 weeks |
| Silk slippers (printed logo) | 500 pairs | 4–6 weeks |
| Scented sachet (printed logo) | 500 units | 2–3 weeks |
Can You Order Below the MOQ?
In some cases, yes.
Sample orders: You can order 1–10 units as samples. Sample fees apply. These are deducted from your final order.
Retail purchase: We sell single units without customization on our retail site. But you cannot add a logo or custom text.
Mixed products: You might combine 30 bracelets + 50 phone cases. The total value may justify a lower MOQ for one product. Contact us to discuss.
For standard custom production, we cannot go below published MOQs. The unit price would be too high.
How MOQ Affects Unit Price
Larger orders lower the price per unit.
| Product | 50 units | 100 units | 200 units | 500 units |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Red string bracelet (logo charm) | $6.50 | $5.80 | $5.00 | $4.50 |
| Phone case (UV print) | N/A (MOQ 100) | $9.00 | $7.50 | $6.50 |
| Sticker sheet (custom) | N/A (MOQ 200) | N/A | $1.10 | $0.85 |
| Silk scarf (digital print) | $38 | $32 | $28 | $25 |
These are estimates. Actual prices depend on design complexity and materials.
Tips for Working with MOQs
1. Plan Ahead
If you need 150 phone cases, order 200. The extra 50 can be used as backups or future gifts.
2. Combine Products
You may not meet the MOQ for one product. But a mixed order (e.g., 30 bracelets + 70 phone cases) might be accepted. Ask us.
3. Use Samples First
Order a sample before committing to bulk. This helps you check quality. Then you can confidently order a larger quantity.
4. Share MOQ with Colleagues
Combine orders from different departments. Marketing may need 30 bracelets. HR may need 40. Together you reach 70. Work internally.
5. Store Extra Units
Ordering above your immediate need is often cheaper per unit. Store the extras. Use them later for unexpected needs.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is MOQ?
A: Minimum Order Quantity. It is the smallest number of units we can produce for a custom design.
Q2: Why is the MOQ for silk scarves higher than for bracelets?
A: Scarves use digital printing. The setup is more complex. Fabric printing also requires longer runs to be cost‑effective.
Q3: Can I order 100 phone cases with 50 different names?
A: Yes. That counts as 100 units total. You do not need 50 units per name. We can print different names on each case.
Q4: What if I need only 30 custom bracelets?
A: We cannot produce only 30 at custom prices. But you could order 50 (MOQ) and keep 20 for later. Or buy non‑custom bracelets from our retail store.
Q5: Does the sample count toward MOQ?
A: No. Samples are separate. The sample fee is deducted from your final order, but the sample units do not count toward the MOQ.
Q6: Can I mix different products to reach MOQ?
A: Sometimes. For example, 30 bracelets + 70 phone cases = 100 units total. The phone case MOQ is 100, so this would work. The bracelet MOQ is 50, but we may accept 30 if you also order phone cases. Contact us.
Q7: What happens if I order 200 phone cases but later need 50 more?
A: You can place a second order. The second order has its own MOQ. But if the additional 50 bring the total to 250, we may waive the MOQ for the top‑up. Ask your account manager.
Q8: Do you offer discounts for orders above MOQ?
A: Yes. Larger orders have lower unit prices. The price breaks are in our quote.
Q9: Can I cancel an order after confirming production?
A: No. Once we start production, we cannot cancel. Please be certain of your quantity before approving the sample.
Q10: How do I get a quote for my specific quantity?
A: Fill out the corporate gifting form. Tell us the product and quantity. We will respond within 24 hours.
