Many people want to customize hats, and the most common question is: What is the minimum order quantity?
What is the common minimum order quantity?
The minimum order quantity will be different for different factories and different hat types. Generally speaking:
Ordinary baseball caps: The minimum order quantity is about 100 to 300.
Complex design or embroidery hats: The minimum order quantity is generally more than 300.
Knitted hats, fisherman hats: They are also mostly between 100 and 500.
High-end customization (special fabrics, special craftsmanship): The minimum order quantity may be 500 or more.
Why is there a minimum order quantity?
There are several main reasons:
Production cost: Making hats requires opening patterns, making molds, and preparing materials, which will incur fixed costs.
Complex process: Hats are not simply cut and sewn, and processes such as embroidery, printing, and washing require machines and manpower.
Inventory management: The factory must ensure efficiency and will not frequently switch production lines for dozens of hats.
How to reduce the minimum order quantity?
If you want to order less, you can consider these methods:
Choose a ready-made style: No need to re-open the pattern, just do logo printing or embroidery.
Negotiate with the factory: If it is a long-term cooperation, the factory may be willing to appropriately reduce the minimum order quantity.
Combine orders: It is easier for the factory to arrange several similar hats together.
