Is the MOQ for Laundry Detergent Sheets Too High? We Support Small Orders!
In the ever-evolving world of household products, laundry detergent sheets have taken center stage for their convenience, eco-friendliness, and mess-free usage. But for many small businesses, startups, and boutique brands looking to enter the sustainable cleaning space, one major hurdle remains: minimum order quantity (MOQ).
In this post, we’ll explore why MOQ is important, the common misconceptions around it, and how our factory offers flexible, small-MOQ solutions for businesses of all sizes.
What Is MOQ and Why Does It Matter?
MOQ stands for Minimum Order Quantity, which is the lowest number of units a manufacturer is willing to produce in one batch. It’s typically set to ensure efficient production, control costs, and manage logistics.
For example, some factories require an MOQ of 10,000 sheets or more—especially when it involves custom packaging, fragrances, or formulations. While this may work for big retailers, it can be a dealbreaker for smaller operations.
Why High MOQs Turn People Away
Let’s face it: not every business can afford large initial investments. Whether you’re:
-
Testing the market
-
Running a pilot campaign
-
Launching a limited-edition scent
-
Creating a private-label brand
…you want flexibility. A high MOQ means high financial risk, longer lead times, and more warehousing concerns. It can block creative entrepreneurs from getting started.
