A Table by Production Line"},"content":{"rendered":"

Pure Foods' MOQ (minimum order quantity) is counted per recipe, per production run. Seasoning powders start at 500 kg, sauces and dipping sauces in clear unbranded bags start at 1,000 kg, and sauces or dipping sauces in bags printed with the customer's brand start at 2,000 kg. Each flavor counts as one recipe, so multiple flavors cannot be combined to meet a single minimum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Is an MOQ, and Why Do Factories Set One?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

MOQ stands for Minimum Order Quantity, the minimum amount a factory will produce per run. Every time a production line runs, it requires preparing raw materials, weighing and mixing, process control, packing, and washing down the line, whether the batch is large or small. Setting a minimum makes each production run cost-effective and keeps quality consistent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Is the MOQ for Each Production Line?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For example, 1,000 kg of sauce packed in 1 kg bags yields about 1,000 bags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can I Combine Several Flavors to Meet the Minimum?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

No. Each flavor counts as one recipe, and each recipe must meet its own minimum. For example, if you want 2 seasoning powder flavors, you need to order 500 kg of each, 1,000 kg in total. If you want to test the market on a limited budget, start with one core flavor first and add flavors in later runs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do Small Sachets Have a Different Minimum from Large Bags?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The minimum production quantity is the same, but small sachets have an additional requirement for the sachet film, which must be ordered at a minimum of 10 rolls, enough for roughly 100,000\u2013200,000 sachets depending on sachet size. Plan how many sachets you will realistically sell before choosing a size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Available pack sizes: sauces and dipping sauces from 3 g to 25 kg in sachets, bags, bottles, gallon jugs and pails; seasoning powders from 90 g to 5 kg. If you need specialty packaging the factory does not normally use, the customer covers the cost of that packaging.

Before talking to the factory, answer these 3 questions to help speed up the assessment<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Will the product be used in your restaurant or produced for sale?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Do you need standard packaging or branded packaging?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. How many kilograms do you expect to use or sell per month?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
