MOQ is connected to production setup
Custom packaging requires material preparation, printing setup, cutting tools and finishing processes. These fixed preparation steps are distributed across the order, which is why very small runs can carry a high unit cost.
Materials and finishes change the equation
Special papers, custom colours, foil stamping, embossing and handmade assembly may each have their own practical minimum. Combining many special processes can raise both the setup requirement and the production risk.
How to make a first order more efficient
Use one structure across several designs where possible, confirm dimensions before artwork, and identify which finishes are essential to the brand experience. A clear brief helps the factory propose an efficient specification.
Lume Packing's starting point
Our standard MOQ is 1,000 pieces for the products shown on this website. The final recommendation depends on structure, material, finish and production method, so each project is reviewed individually.
