Our Minimum Order Quantities

The Industry's Problem

The manufacturing industry is all about volume. Higher volume equals lower pricing. And everyone seems most concerned about prices. But there's far more to MOQ than just prices. (Learn more about MOQ here.)

With things as they are, it’s particularly difficult for small labels and startups to have their manufacturing needs met. In many cases, it’s simply impossible to have something made in small quantities. This unfortunately forces many small businesses out of the marketplace entirely. 

If you’ve been through it before, you know how frustrating it is. Contacting endless factories, asking their MOQ, trying to get a quote. Even if you offer to pay more, most of the time they’ll just ignore you.  Maybe you’ll get a half-hearted sample and they’ll ghost you afterwards. It’s an awful lot like using a dating app. Lots of leads, then lots of one night stands. 

Fortunately, there’s a better way!

Our Solution

Here at Prototype, we take an entirely different approach. 

Rather than rely on a high volume of orders from just a few clients, we have developed a unique system whereby we instead leverage our large quantity of smaller orders to simulate the efficiency of large orders. In this way we are able to offer high quality at a reasonable quantity and price.

Our worldwide network of relationships works in favor of the suppliers and manufacturers as well. Prototype is able to supply a steady stream of reliable manufacturing jobs to smaller factories that otherwise struggle to find new clients. 

Prototype offers the best combination of low MOQ custom manufacturing with high quality results of any company in the industry.
