Question 1

What is LLC’s minimum order quantity?

Accepted Answer

LLC’s standard minimum order quantity (MOQ) is generally 1,000 units per design for custom paper boxes, paper bags, and other paper packaging projects. The final MOQ is determined by the box style, dimensions, material, printing method, finishing requirements, and production setup.

Different packaging structures and finishes may require different production layouts, material usage, and converting processes. As a result, MOQ may vary even when the order quantities appear similar. For smaller trial orders or sample-related requirements, LLC can review the project individually based on the confirmed specifications.

To receive an accurate MOQ recommendation, please provide the packaging dimensions, structure, materials, finishing requirements, and estimated order volume when submitting an inquiry.
