MOQ guide
MOQ is one of the first questions new private label brands ask. The right MOQ depends on whether the buyer uses a regular style or requests deeper customization.
Typical MOQ range
For BURTONO sports glove projects, MOQ can start from 300 pairs. The exact MOQ depends on product category, material, color, logo method and packaging.
| Project type | Typical MOQ | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Regular style with logo | 300 pairs | New brand testing, marketplace listings and faster launch |
| Existing style with custom color/material/packaging | From 300 pairs | Private label collections and importer projects |
| ODM development | Depends on complexity | Brands with a specific structure or function requirement |
Why MOQ changes
- Special materials may need supplier minimums.
- Custom colors can require dyeing or material ordering minimums.
- Logo and packaging methods may have setup cost.
- Complex construction usually takes more production preparation.
- Very small orders may have higher unit cost because setup work is spread across fewer pairs.
How new brands can reduce risk
New brands do not always need to start with a fully custom glove. A practical path is to choose an existing base style, customize logo and packaging, test the market, then refine materials or construction after demand is proven.
Faster path
Use an existing style, customize logo and packaging, and launch with a smaller quantity.
Custom path
Use ODM development when the brand needs a specific design, function or material structure.
