50 pieces per style is our standard low MOQ. Some technical categories (denim, knitwear) start at 100 pieces.
Most overseas factories require 300-500 pieces minimum. Fabrickly's 50-piece MOQ is designed for indie founders who can't commit to 500-unit first runs.
Yes, per-unit cost is higher at 50 pieces than at 500 — typically 20-35% premium. This buys you the ability to test the market before bulk commitment.
Yes. Standard reorder lead time is 4 weeks. Per-unit cost drops at 100, 250, and 500 unit tiers.
Most factories want 500. We start at 50 per style. Same Bangladesh and China facilities, same compliance, same QA — built around indie brand realities.
Most overseas factories require 300–500 pieces per style. For a launching brand, that's £15K–£25K of inventory risk before you've sold a single unit. The math kills new labels.
We aggregate small runs across our active brand portfolio — same fabric orders, same line setup, same QC team. That lets us drop the per-style minimum to 50 without compromising quality or compliance.
Cost per piece is higher than a 500-unit order. Total commit drops by 90%. We help you scale up as you sell through.
