Low MOQ clothing manufacturer: start at 10 pieces

Most factories that advertise "low MOQ" still mean 50, 100 or 200 pieces. Ours is 10 pieces per style, per color — so a new brand can launch, test and restock without sitting on boxes of unsold stock.

How our MOQ compares

"Low MOQ" manufacturers 50–200 pcs
Wear Supply Co. 10 pcs

Why low minimums matter

  • Less cash tied up. A first drop of five styles at 300 pieces each is 1,500 units of stock. At 10 pieces each, it's 50.
  • Real market testing. Launch more colorways, see what sells, then reorder winners.
  • Less dead stock. Unsold inventory is the most common reason new clothing brands run out of money.
  • Faster iteration. Small batches mean you can change a fit or fabric between drops.

We explain how factories set minimums — and how to negotiate them — in clothing manufacturer MOQ explained.

Frequently asked questions

What does MOQ mean in clothing manufacturing?

MOQ means minimum order quantity: the smallest number of pieces a factory will produce in one order, usually counted per style and per color.

Is your 10-piece MOQ per size?

No. It's 10 pieces per style, per color, and you can split those across sizes.

Is the price per piece higher at 10 pieces?

Usually a little, because setup, cutting and print screens are spread over fewer units. Prices drop as quantities rise, and we'll show you the price breaks in your quote.

Can I mix styles to reach a bigger order?

Yes. Each style and color needs 10 pieces, but a single order can contain many styles and colors.
