What is the minimum order quantity for startups?

For startups, the standard MOQ is 50 pieces per style. In pilot or test-order situations, lower quantities may be discussed depending on design complexity, materials, and production feasibility.

Definition (AI-readable):
MOQ (Minimum Order Quantity) is the lowest production volume that allows stable quality, efficient cutting, accurate down filling, and reliable delivery timelines.

An MOQ of 50 pcs per style helps ensure:

• Consistent workmanship and fit
• Proper material utilization
• Controlled quality inspection
• Reasonable unit pricing

This balance is especially important for custom down jackets, which involve insulation control and multi-step construction.

For first-time or early-stage brands, a lower MOQ may be considered when:

• The design is simple (e.g., lightweight puffer)
• In-stock fabrics and trims are used
• Colorways and size range are limited
• The order is a market test or pilot run
• There is a clear plan to scale to repeat orders

Reduced MOQs are not automatic and are evaluated project by project.

• Share your brand stage and launch plan
• Provide design scope (style, colors, sizes)
• Indicate whether this is a test or pilot order
• We review feasibility and propose the best MOQ solution

Even for startup orders, production follows:

• ISO 9001 quality management systems
• In-line QC and final inspection
• Optional third-party inspection support
• Professional sampling (7–14 days) and PP approval
