Minimum order quantities, explained
What sets a minimum order quantity in woven garment production, and how to plan a programme around it.
What drives the minimum
Table · 5 rows| Driver | Why |
|---|---|
| Fabric | Mills sell fabric in minimum lengths per quality and colour, so a small order can mean buying fabric that goes unused. |
| Dyeing and printing | A dye lot or a print run has a set-up cost, spread across the metres in it. |
| Value addition | An embroidery design is digitised, and a print is set up, once, whatever the quantity. |
| Construction | Setting a line for a new style takes time that a longer run recovers. |
| Custom trims | Woven labels, printed tags and branded buttons carry supplier minimums of their own. |
The minimum for your programme is confirmed against the programme. The FAQ answers the common questions.
