What's the minimum order quantity for packaging bags? How is it calculated?
Many clients have encountered this problem, going to packaging bag manufacturers to inquire about the minimum order quantity when , are 30,000 5 50,000, or even 10 100,000+ MOQs. For first-time collaborations, such MOQs seem too high, and the reason is often unclear. Especially for businesses just starting out or those with smaller scales, clients it is difficult to accept high MOQs. Today, Shunxingyuan Packaging, a professional flexible packaging manufacturer, will explain, based on our experience, the reasons for the high minimum order quantity for packaging bags.
1 packaging bags printing printing plate fees are expensive

packaging bag printing is gravure printing, one color requires one plate copper plate, which we commonly call plate making. The plate fees are relatively expensive, depending on the complexity of the bag design. One color costs 500- 800, depending on the design. For example, if a bag needs to be printed with 6 colors, the plate fee will be 3000-4800 yuan.
2, MOQ depends on the length of the film roll

The minimum order quantity for packaging bags is generally calculated based on the length of a roll of material and the market standard length is around 6000 meters or so For example, a clothing bag made of PET /PE material 25*18mm , PET with a roll of material 6000 meters, the MOQ would be 6000 ÷ 0.18 = approximately 33,333 Accounting for waste, a 30,000-piece MOQ is not high. 。
For automatic packaging film rolls, the MOQ is generally 300- 500 kilograms.
3, Failing to meet the MOQ results in losses for the flexible packaging factory

For packaging bag manufacturers, if the MOQ is not met, if they proceed, they will be operating at a loss, because small quantities require changing plates, changing pressure rollers, changing inks, 、 color matching and sampling and a series of other processes which takes about more than 3 hours. If a roll of material is not finished, the waste rate is very high, , possibly reaching over 50%, which no packaging factory can accept.
Therefore, many packaging bag manufacturers also set a minimum consumption rule. When the customer's order quantity does not meet the minimum order quantity, the unit price of the packaging bag will be appropriately increased. Therefore, it is recommended that clients who pursue high-quality packaging bags and want personalized custom packaging bags try to coordinate production and inventory to reach the minimum order quantity. This way, they can purchase the desired packaging bags while maintaining cost-effectiveness.
