MOQ and pricing
MOQ is 50 units per color, per design, because fabric roll and dye lot minimums reset for each colorway. One design in one color is 50 units; one design in two colors is 100 units; three designs in two colors each is 300 units.
| Units per color, per design | Relative unit price | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| 50 | Highest price tier | Entry point, smallest commitment, suited to testing demand |
| 100 | About 10–15% lower than 50 | Common next step once a design sells |
| 250 | About 20–30% lower than 50 | Needs stronger sell-through confidence |
| 500+ | Lowest price per unit | Best margin, highest unsold-stock risk |
